Issue

On certain vehicles equipped with an Eaton automated manual transmission and electronic clutch actuator (ECA), a manufacturing problem could cause the clutch to fail. If this occurs, the broken clutch components could prevent the transmission from disengaging or shifting to neutral.

Safety risk

If the transmission does not disengage, the vehicle could move unexpectedly, even if the parking brake is applied. This could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective actions

The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the Transmission Control Module (TCM) software.
