Filing in context
The A/T is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 32 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 21 Toyota notifications from 2010 in this archive. For scale, 1,558 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 9 months.
Defect
The manufacturing process for the automatic transmission (A/T) oil cooler pipes and oil cooler hoses is improper, resulting in units where the pipe machining is inadequate and the hose cleaning treatment is insufficient. As a result, vibration during driving may cause the oil cooler hose to pull free, allowing oil to leak and rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the oil cooler hoses and oil cooler pipes with corrected parts.
