I'm scratching my head as to the possible identity of the mystery SUV. Luxury SUV, Japanese, uses a turbo... maybe the Acura RDX? And the transmission housing is not stout enough to contain gear shrapnel?

  He's referring to Toyota. They are globally recalling Toyota Corollas for failing torque converters. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/toyota-2019-corolla-hatchback-recall-cvt-problems/ https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/toyota-2019-corolla-hatch... Clearly Toyota didn't know it was happening in their supply chain, but now they do.

    That article is for CVT's, which don't use shiftable gears. Google-fu leads to this forum post from 2009, which references Acura directly: https://hardware.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1473068&cid=30382138 https://hardware.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1473068&cid=30...

      Not to jump to any conclusions, but judging by the common user name, it seems possible that that's the same poster as the GGGP.
