Defect
The lubrication method for the left-side bearing on the reduction gear shaft inside the automatic transmission is inadequate, causing the bearing to wear prematurely. Continued use produces abnormal noise and, in the worst case, the bearing may fail, causing the vehicle to decelerate abruptly.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, assess left-side reduction gear shaft bearing wear using drive shaft rotational force. 1. If wear is detected, replace the automatic transmission with a corrected part. 2. If no wear is detected, add a lubrication device.
