Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1212430 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | July 13, 2005 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Honda |
| Component | Continuously Variable Transmission |
| Production period | July 12, 2003 — October 23, 2003 |
| Vehicles affected | 492 units |
Defect
The press-cutting process used to separate the metal belt elements of the belt-type continuously variable transmission (CVT) was improperly performed, causing deformation of the element body on some units. Under driving loads, stress concentrates at the base of the affected elements and may cause cracking. In the worst case, an element fractures, and the fragment becomes wedged between the metal belt and pulley, causing the metal belt to break and rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
All vehicles: replace the continuously variable transmission with a conforming unit.

状況
ベルト式無段変速機（ＣＶＴ）の金属ベルトを構成している駒（エレメント）のプレス加工後の切り離しが不適切なため、エレメントのボディ部を変形させたものがある。そのため、走行時の負荷がエレメント根元部に集中し亀裂を生じ、最悪の場合、破断して破断片が金属ベルトとプーリーの間に噛み込み、金属ベルトが破断して走行不能となるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、無段変速機を良品と交換する。
