Defect
The reduction gear shaft inside the automatic transmission was improperly assembled on some units. The shaft's roller bearing may wear, producing abnormal noise. Continued use may cause the bearing to fail, resulting in sudden, severe vehicle deceleration or a complete stop.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect for bearing wear by checking ATF contamination and drive shaft rotational resistance. (1) If wear is found, replace the automatic transmission with a conforming unit and fill with high wear-resistance ATF. (2) If no wear is found, replace the ATF with high wear-resistance ATF.
