Defect
On automated manual transmissions, incomplete draining of inspection oil used during standalone operational testing leaves residual oil inside the transmission. When the specified oil volume is added during vehicle assembly, total oil quantity exceeds the specified level. Sustained high-speed driving then causes oil temperature to rise, damaging internal transmission components. Heat from the overheated transmission may also damage the surrounding wiring harness. In the worst case, the vehicle may become inoperable or the engine may fail to restart.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect for oil ejection from the transmission breather and verify the amount of oil in the transmission. If oil is being ejected from the breather, replace the transmission, actuator, and surrounding wiring harness with new parts, then refill with the correct oil quantity. If excess oil is present but no ejection has occurred, replace the transmission and surrounding wiring harness with new parts, then refill with the correct oil quantity.

状況
機械式自動変速機において、変速機単体の作動検査時に使用する検査用オイルの抜き取り作業が不適切なため、変速機内部にオイルが残留しているものがある。そのため、車両組立時に規定量のオイルを入れると、規定より油量が多くなり、そのままの状態で高速走行をすると油温が上昇し、変速機の内部部品が溶損したり、熱の影響で変速機周辺のハーネスが溶損して、最悪の場合、走行不能やエンジンが再始動できないおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、機械式自動変速機のブリーザからのオイル吹き出しの有無やオイルの注入量を点検し、オイルの吹き出しがある場合は、当該変速機、アクチュエータ、及び当該変速機周辺のワイヤーハーネスを新品に交換するとともに正規オイル量を注入する。また、オイルの注入量過多がある場合は、当該変速機、及び当該変速機周辺のワイヤーハーネスを新品に交換するとともに正規オイル量を注入する。
