On some vehicles, when driving under high load or at high speeds, increased oil temperature inside the transfer unit may result in poor lubrication. The transfer needle bearing may move from its normal position and create interference. Continued driving under these conditions will cause the needle bearing to break, creating abnormal noise, damage to the PTU case and/or oil leakage. Dealers are instructed to replace the power transfer unit (PTU).","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10111047-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2017/MC-10111047-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10111047","components":[{"id":"powertrain","name":"Transmission and driveline","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"MAZDA","model":"CX-9","year_from":2014,"year_to":2015,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2014_mazda_cx-9","2015_mazda_cx-9"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
