|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | March 30, 2005 |

Filing in context
The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 11 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 5 Daihatsu notifications from 2005 in this archive. For scale, 1,872 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 3 years and 11 months.
Defect
In the continuously variable transmission (CVT), the dust-exclusion structure of the shift section is inadequate. Dust accumulation causes the shift section slider to bind, preventing gear ratio changes. In the worst case, if the ratio becomes fixed on the high-speed side, the electromagnetic clutch fails to engage at launch and the vehicle cannot be driven.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the continuously variable transmission with the improved unit.
