Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with continuously variable transmissions (cvt). The pump impeller blades within the torque converter may detach, especially when driven under high load, potentially causing a vehicle stall.

Why it matters: A vehicle stall, especially when driving a high rate of speed, can increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Toyota has notified owners, and dealers will replace the cvt and torque converter, free of charge. The recall began April 22, 2019.
