Defect
During manufacturing of the continuously variable transmission (CVT) oil pump, inadequate clearance control of the internal gears resulted in insufficient gear clearance, causing interference between the gears and the pump interior. This wear on the pump interior causes the gears to seize, preventing the oil pump from operating and rendering the vehicle inoperable.
