Verify before you act. Recall details and remedies can change. Our database is updated regularly but may not reflect the most recent revisions. Always confirm with vehiclerecalls.gov.au or your vehicle manufacturer before acting on the information below. Read our full disclaimer.

The defect

The affected vehicles have CVT programming that uses high hydraulic pressure which may subject the drive pulley shaft to high stress during operation. The higher stresses combined with a shaft of lower hardness may result in the shaft breaking during use.

The hazard

If the drive pulley shaft breaks the vehicle may lose acceleration, or the front wheels may lock up while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

A letter will be sent to affected owners. The dealer will install a CVT software update that contains a stress reduction program, free of charge.
