DEFECT #1 - POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM)

Posted on: 2017-12-27
Description
Eaton cummins automated transmission tec (eaton cummins) is recalling certain endurant transmissions, part numbers eeo-17f112c, eeo-16f112c and eeo-18f112c and paccar transmissions, part numbers po-14f112c, po-15f112c, po-16f112c, po-17f112c and po-18f112c.  The transmission control module (tcm) may allow the engine to crank briefly even if the transmission shifter is not in neutral.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 102, transmission shift lever sequence/starter interlock/transmission braking effect.

Consequence
If the transmission is not in neutral when the engine begins running, there may be unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of a crash.  

Corrective Action
Eaton cummins will notify the affected vehicle manufacturers who will file and conduct recalls to install updated tcm software, free of charge.  The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.  Owners may contact eaton cummins at 1-269-342-3184.

Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
