All affected cars equipped with a continuously variable transmission and built before Oct 1, 2010.
The problem: A clicking noise along with whining and humming emanating from the CVT can be heard inside the vehicle cabin while driving. The noise increases as vehicle speed increases; engine speed has no affect on it. On vehicles where this condition is evident, the problem can be attributed to a faulty set of CVT primary shaft bearings and one secondary pulley shaft bearing.
