Defect

The automatic transmission mount uses rubber with insufficient heat resistance. Prolonged idling causes the rubber to degrade from heat and fracture. Continued use after fracture allows the automatic transmission control lever to contact the battery tray bracket, preventing a shift into Park and leaving the ignition key unable to be removed.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the automatic transmission mount assembly with the corrected part. Because this change alone increases vibration levels, also replace the engine mount with the corrected part.

状況

①自動変速機マウントにおいて、ゴムの耐熱強度が不足しているため、長時間のアイドリ 　ング等により当該ゴム部が熱劣化し破断することがあり、そのままの状態で使用を続け 　ると、最悪の場合、自動変速機のコントロールレバーがバッテリートレイブラケットに 　干渉し、Ｐレンジへシフト不能となり、イグニッションキーが抜けなくなるおそれがあ 　る。

改善措置

①全車両、自動変速機マウント一式を対策品と交換する。更に、上記の変更のみでは振動 　レベルが悪化するため、エンジンマウントも併せて対策品と交換する。
