| Description of the problem | When routine maintenance was being performed at the dealer the transmission case broke around a portion of the case where one of the transmission oil pan bolted on. One of the mechanics commented that this portion of the transmission case appeared thin. The transmission case was sent back to the factory by the dealer. I believe this failure of the metal of the transmission case is dangerous due to this being a "trail rated" vehicle and being intended for exposure to off road conditions and this part failure being especially dangerous under these conditions and, of course, if it were to fail in regular driving. It is my belief that if this failure were to occur while driving the vehicle could loose power and thus loose control and under off road conditions could create a very precarious and especially dangerous condition. |
