Defect
Improper manufacturing process of the CVT oil cooler hose causes internal surface wrinkling in some hoses. Internal pressure then propagates cracks from these wrinkles inward to outward through the hose wall, resulting in an oil leak. In the worst case, the vehicle may become inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, verify the oil cooler hose manufacturing lot number and replace any identified hose with a non-defective part.

状況
無段変速機（ＣＶＴ）のオイルクーラーホースの製造過程の作業が不適切のため、ホースの内面にシワが発生するものがある。そのため、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、ホースの内圧により、シワを起点に亀裂が内面から外面に進展し、オイルが漏れ、最悪の場合走行不能になるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、オイルクーラーホースの製造ロット番号を確認し、該当するものはオイルクーラーホースを良品に交換する。
