Defect
On the CVT (continuously variable transmission), some units have improperly torqued bolts securing the drive plate to the torque converter. Continued use may cause these bolts to loosen and fall out, producing abnormal noise. In the worst case, a dropped bolt may become wedged between the drive plate and the torque converter housing, causing an engine stall from which the engine cannot be restarted.
Corrective action
Replace the CVT, drive plate, and bolts on all vehicles.

状況
ＣＶＴ（無段変速機）において、ドライブプレートとトルクコンバータを締結するボルトの締付けが不適切なものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると当該ボルトが緩み、脱落して異音が発生し、最悪の場合、脱落したボルトがドライブプレートとトルクコンバータハウジングの間に噛み込み、エンストして再始動できなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ＣＶＴ・ドライブプレート・ボルトを交換する。
