Plain-English summary

Eaton Corporation is recalling 574 Eaton Fuller 365mm clutches manufactured between May 26, 2014, and June 17, 2014. The recall addresses a defect involving an incorrect clutch-release bearing component. This issue may prevent the clutches from disengaging as needed during operation.

If the clutch fails to disengage, drivers may experience unintended vehicle motion or extended stopping distances. These conditions increase the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities were reported in the source text.

Eaton will notify affected vehicle manufacturers and owners. Eaton personnel will inspect and replace the clutches free of charge as necessary. The recall began in November 2014. Owners may contact Eaton customer service at 1-800-386-1911 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
