Extensión de garantía: Convertidor de par de la RDX 6AT 2017-2018 - DTC P0741 almacenado
Estimado :
¿Cuál es el motivo de esta notificación?
En determinadas circunstancias, el embrague de bloqueo del convertidor de par no puede proporcionar la fuerza de
retención adecuada debido a la presión que se escapa a través de una grieta en el pistón de bloqueo. La capacidad
reducida del embrague de bloqueo hace que el indicador de transmisión “D” destelle y se establezca el código DTC
P0741 - Rendimiento del circuito del embrague del convertidor de par o trabado en posición apagado.
Para asegurar su confianza en su vehículo, Acura
está extendiendo la garantía en el convertidor de par a 10 años de
la fecha original de compra o 150.000 millas, lo que ocurra primero.
.
Esta extensión de garantía brinda cobertura al propietario original y a cualquier propietario subsiguiente. No se
requiere ninguna acción de su parte a menos que usted experimente algún problema.
¿Qué hará Acura
?
Si experimenta un problema relacionado con esta condición, Acura
reemplazará el convertidor de par de forma
gratuita. Por favor llame a cualquier concesionario autorizado Acura
y haga una cita para la reparación de su
vehículo de forma gratuita. Una vez que programe una cita para su vehículo, tenga en cuenta que la reparación
puede tomar aproximadamente 6.6 horas. No obstante, su concesionario le puede ofrecer un mejor estimado del
tiempo total de esta visita de servicio, ya que pudiera ser necesario que su vehículo esté disponible por un periodo de
tiempo más largo. Si usted no es el único conductor de este vehículo, por favor informe a todos los conductores y
pasajeros sobre esta información importante.
Si usted anteriormente ha pagado por el reemplazo del convertidor de par debido a esta condición y su vehículo
califica para el reemplazo del convertidor de par, usted puede calificar para un rembolso, aunque ya no sea el
propietario del vehículo. Consulte las instrucciones para el reembolso que se encuentra anexa para ver los requisitos
de elegibilidad y el procedimiento de reembolso.
