The issue
TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH ALLISON MT650 TRANSMISSIONS. TRANSMISSION GOVERNOR ASSEMBLIES MAY CONTAIN NYLON CHIPS WHICH WOULD PLUG THE GOVERNOR VALVE OIL PORT. IF THIS OCCURS, THE TRANSMISSION COULD DOWNSHIFT AUTOMATICALLY TO ITS LOWEST GEAR, OVERSPEEDING THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. OVERSPEEDING OF THE TRANSMISSION MAY CAUSE TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS TO BREAK AND FLYING FRAGMENTS COULD CAUSE INJURY TO THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS AND OTHERS. DAMAGE TO OTHER VEHICLE COMPONENTS/EQUIPMENT COULD CAUSE VEHICLE CONTROLLABILITY PROBLEMS.
