|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | November 6, 2001 |

| Production period | October 1998 — July 2000 |

Defect
Insufficient tightening torque on the bolts securing the bearing retainer plate inside the automatic transmission may allow the bolts to loosen over time, producing abnormal noise. In the worst case, the bolts fall out and become lodged in the reduction gear, or the transmission case is damaged, causing an oil leak and rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the bolts for looseness through a newly provided inspection port. Replace any transmission with loose bolts with a non-defective automatic transmission unit. On transmissions where the bolts are not loose, apply adhesive to the bolts and secure them in place.

状況
動力伝達装置において、自動変速機内部のベアリングリテーナープレートを固定するボル トの締付力が不足しているものがあるため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、当該ボル トが緩み異音が発生し、最悪の場合、当該ボルトが脱落し、リダクションギヤに噛み込む か又はミッションケースが破損して、オイル漏れを起こすことにより走行不能になるおそ れがある。
改善措置
全車両、新たに設ける点検孔から当該ボルトの緩みを点検し、緩んでいるものは良品の自 動変速機と交換し、緩みのないものは当該ボルトに接着材を塗布して固定する。
