Defect
In the automatic transmission, the sealing method for the shift gear shaft sealing bolt is incorrect. During high-speed driving, repeated flexing at the junction between the reduction gear and the shaft causes the bolt sealant to loosen. In the worst case, the reduction gear shaft may disengage, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the sealing bolt with a revised part that uses an O-ring in place of sealant.
