Honda Cvt Transmission Recall . The 2010 recall was one of the largest made by the japanese automaker ever, and was the equivalent in size to 70% of the 3.5 million vehicles they sold that year. Williams tested such transmission in the early 90s.
Domestic cars featuring cvts include the 2011 ford fusion hybrid. The first transmission failed at 13000km and the new replacement failed 3000km later. My daughters 2015 accord sport cvt with just over 90k miles and transmission failed.
The most interesting use of a cvt is inside an f1 car.
A cvt transmission, unlike a typical automatic transmission with gears, uses two pulleys held together by a very strong steel belt. The flexibility of a cvt with suitable control may allow the engine to operate at a constant rpm while the vehicle moves at varying speeds. A cvt (continuously variable transmission) is a type of automatic transmission that has an indefinite number of gear ratios. This shows that there are other vehicles outside of the recall liable to have this happen.
