Mazda will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the software for the powertrain and engine control modules.
Certain vehicles equipped with the hydra-matic 4l60-e transmission may experience a condition whereby the low and reverse clutch piston may overtravel and contact the PARK pawl, thus not allowing the PARK pawl to engage while the low and reverse piston is applied. A no PARK condition could occur.
No risk description available.
Transmission will be inspected and either replaced or modified as required.
On certain vehicles, the flexible coupling between the transmission and driveshaft may crack over time. If this happens, you may notice vibrations and noise from under the vehicle. If you continue driving with this problem, the driveshaft could separate, resulting in a loss of power to the wheels. If the driveshaft separates, and the parking brake is not used when parked, the vehicle could move suddenly. A driveshaft that separates can also cause damage to nearby components, including brake and fuel lines. Note: Cutaway chassis models with a 156" or 178" wheelbase are not involved in this recall.
A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, unintended vehicle movement could increase the risk of injury and/or a crash.
Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to replace the front driveshaft section and install a universal joint (to replace the flexible coupling). Note: Ford does not recommend driving your vehicle if the driveshaft flexible coupling has travelled over 64,000 km.
On certain vehicles, the rear drive shaft bolts may not have been tightened to specification and could loosen, which could, overtime, cause the drive shaft to separate from the transmission. This could cause a loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and tighten the bolts as necessary.
On certain vehicles, a tab on the collar for the planetary gear assembly, an inner part of the automatic transmission, can receive greater force than what it is designed for when the accelerator pedal is operated quickly. This could cause a small piece of metal to be torn from the collar. In the worst case, this small piece of metal may get caught in the parking lock mechanism, causing the parking lock system to be inoperative when the transmission shift lever is placed in the "P" (PARK) position.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the automatic transmission.
On certain motorcycles, the hex nut that secures the front drive belt wheel to the gearbox output shaft was torqued to a value less than specification during the vehicle assembly process. As a consequence, the nut could loosen during vehicle operation. If this happens, the belt wheel would itself loosen on the output shaft, resulting in damage to the internal splines of the wheel and to the external splines of the output shafts as the vehicle is operated. Over time, the splines could be damaged to the extent that the output shaft would no longer operate the drive belt, resulting in a loss of drive capability at the rear wheel.
No risk description available.
Dealers will check the torque of the hex nut and adjust is necessary.
On certain motorcycles, some transmission parts may not be properly manufactured. This could cause the transmission to malfunction. If this happens, the rear wheel could suddenly lock-up.
A rear wheel that locks suddenly could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their motorcycle to a dealership to replace the defective transmission parts.
On certain Escape Hybrid vehicles, the intermediate shaft used in the front wheel driveline may not have received adequate heat treat process during manufacturing. As a result, the intermediate shaft may fracture while the vehicle is being driven. If a fracture occurs the powertrain will lose the ability to transmit torque to the drive wheels and the transmission will not hold the vehicle stationary when placed in the PARK position.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the intermediate shaft.
NOTE: VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ALL-WHEEL DRIVE MANUAL TRANSMISSION. UNDER COLD AND HUMID CONDITIONS, FROST MAY FORM AT THE TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL GAUGE (DIPSTICK) WHERE THE BREATHING MECHANISM IS INCORPORATED. THIS COULD CAUSE PRESSURE TO BUILD INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION CASE WHICH IN TURN COULD PUSH OUT THE OIL SEAL. SUBSEQUENT OIL LEAKAGE COULD RESULT IN BURNING OF TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL DUE TO WHEEL LOCK-UP.
No risk description available.
ON VEHICLES WITH AN ALL METAL TYPE DIPSTICK, THE OIL LEVEL
THE TRANSMISSION PARK MECHANISM MAY NOT STAY ENGAGED DUE TO AN INCORRECT ADJUSTMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LINKAGE. THIS COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE ROLL-AWAY IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED ON AN INCLINE WITHOUT THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED.
No risk description available.
TRANSMISSION SHIFT LINKAGE WILL BE CORRECTLY ADJUSTED.
Certain motorcycles, may have a defective chain and sprocket set. The problems are due to fluctuations in the manufacturing process of the drive chains. If the drive chain snaps the drive fails, which can lead to safety-critical riding situations. Under worst-case conditions the rear wheel might lock up if the drive chain snaps and becomes trapped between the wheel and the frame. This could lead to a loss of vehicle control and result in a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the chain and sprocket set.
On certain vehicles, the circuit board for the transmission electric oil pump may be damaged. As a result, the circuit board could short circuit and overheat, and various electrical systems may not work properly.
A short circuit could create the risk of a fire.
Hyundai will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the transmission electric oil pump controller, and replace it as necessary. Hyundai recommends parking your vehicle outside and away from other vehicles or buildings until the recall repairs are completed.
On certain motorcycles, a clip in the transmission may detach. This could cause the transmission to shift from neutral into gear during engine start-up, or cause the rear wheel to lockup while the motorcycle is being driven.
A rear wheel lockup could affect vehicle stability and cause a loss of control. A transmission that suddenly shifts into gear could cause unexpected vehicle movement. Both situations could increase the risk of a crash.
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the transmission main shaft.
On certain M3 and M4 vehicles, the slip-joint located on the driveshaft going from the transmission to the rear axle may not have been greased properly during the manufacturing process. Over time, this could cause the slip-joint to fail, which would result in a loss of motive power increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and replace the drive shaft as necessary.
On certain L9000 vehicles equipped with Detroit Diesel Allison transmissions may have improperly machined forward clutch housings. This condition affects oil evacuation in the clutch housing and may cause the vehicle to move forward when the transmission selector lever is in the neutral position.
No risk description available.
No remedy description available.
Certain vehicles may have an incorrectly manufactured guide plate which could hinder the function of the transmission parking pawl. Consequently, PARK may not engage when the lever in the vehicle is moved to PARK and all indicators show PARK position is achieved. If the vehicle was parked on an incline of sufficient grade, and the parking brake was not engaged, the vehicle could roll away.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the parking pawl guide plate.
Certain vehicles may have been manufactured with defective front driveshaft universal joint seals, which could allow water and/or dirt to enter the universal joint, causing accelerated wear and/or corrosion, and resulting in vibration. If the vehicle continues to be operated in this state, the universal joint could eventually break, potentially damaging surrounding components and rendering the vehicle inoperative. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the front drive shaft.
On certain vehicles, a circuit board inside the Transmission Control Module (TCM) may develop a crack, preventing it from controlling the transmission properly. This could result in reduced vehicle speed and poor acceleration, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the TCM with a reprogrammed unit.
On certain vehicles, a low-voltage condition caused by a loose battery connection or a low battery could cause a problem with the Transmission Control Module (TCM). If this happens, the transmission could shift to Park (P) while driving. This could cause damage to the transmission park pawl. As a result, when the transmission is shifted to P, the vehicle could move if the parking brake is not applied.
A damaged transmission could allow a parked vehicle to move if the parking brake is not applied. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Honda will mail a letter to owners asking them to take their vehicle to a Honda Automobile dealer. The dealer will ensure the battery terminals are secure and update the TCM with the latest software. If the parking gear cannot hold the vehicle in Park without application of the electronic parking brake, the transmission will be replaced.
