Plain-English summary
Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Tec is recalling certain Endurant and PACCAR transmissions due to a defect in the transmission control module (TCM). The affected part numbers include EEO-17F112C, EEO-16F112C, EEO-18F112C, PO-14F112C, PO-15F112C, PO-16F112C, PO-17F112C, and PO-18F112C.
The defect allows the engine to crank briefly even if the transmission shifter is not in neutral. This failure to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 102 may result in unintended vehicle movement if the engine begins running while the transmission is not in neutral, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
Eaton Cummins will notify the affected vehicle manufacturers, who will file and conduct recalls to install updated TCM software free of charge. The recall began on December 15, 2017. Owners may contact Eaton Cummins at 1-269-342-3184 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
