|---|---|
| Type | Improvement Campaign (manufacturer improvement measure / 改善対策) |
| Date filed | June 30, 2004 |

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 26 Toyota notifications from 2004 in this archive. For scale, 1,215 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 5 months.
Issue
A connector fitting inside the automatic transmission is improperly shaped. During abrupt acceleration in forward or reverse, the anti-rotation portion of the fitting may fracture and become lodged in the parking lock mechanism. As a result, moving the shift lever to the Park position may not engage the parking lock. Note: This recall was originally filed on June 30, 2004. A correction to the affected vehicle production period and unit count was subsequently made on July 9, 2004, following identification of a partial error in the vehicle selection.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the automatic transmission with a corrected unit.
