The issue
On certain trucks equipped with a PACCAR MX engine and Eaton Ultrashift DM or Allison automatic transmission (without auto-neutral), the Fast Idle Control (also known as high idle) may be activated by the operator while the transmission is in gear. This could override the parking brake, allowing the vehicle to move unexpectedly. Unintended vehicle movement could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will update the engine control software.
Description (français)
Sur certains camions munis d'un moteur PACCAR MX et d'une boîte de vitesses automatique Eaton Ultrashift DM ou Allison (sans mise automatique au point mort), la commande de ralenti rapide pourrait être actionnée par le conducteur pendant qu'un rapport de la boîte de vitesses est enclenché. Cela pourrait neutraliser le frein de stationnement, ce qui permettrait au véhicule de se déplacer de façon imprévue. Si le véhicule se déplaçait de façon inattendue, cela pourrait causer un accident, endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront mettre à jour le logiciel de commande du moteur.
