An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger car (Honda N-VAN) - Repair. Defect in the power transmission system (continuously variable transmission). ■ Defective component (part name): Power transmission system (continuously variable transmission). ■ Condition and cause of the structure, equipment or performance deemed noncompliant with standards: Due to an inappropriate hydraulic pressure control program in the continuously variable transmission, repeatedly pressing and releasing the accelerator while driving at a constant vehicle speed may cause the metal belt to crack and break. Continued use in this condition may cause difficulty starting off and accelerating and, in the worst case, may render the vehicle undrivable. Published 2021-12-02.
What to do now
(Recall) 5069. ■ Corrective measures: Inspect all vehicles for fragments of the continuously variable transmission's metal belt. If fragments are found, replace the continuously variable transmission with a non-defective unit and rewrite its hydraulic pressure control program with the corrective program. If no fragments are found, rewrite the continuously variable transmission's hydraulic pressure control program with the corrective program and add a fault detection program. If the shift position indicator flashes after the program is added and this defect is confirmed, replace the continuously variable transmission free of charge.
