Powertrain
On certain Corolla hatchback models, the torque converter for the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) may have not been properly assembled. If the vehicle were operated frequently under higher load conditions, such as under rapid acceleration from a low speed, the torque converter could fail. This may result in a loss of motive power, and create an increased the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the transmission and torque converter.
