Recall 2018077

The issue

Certain vehicles equipped with Eaton Ultrashift Plus or Eaton Advantage automatic transmissions with right hand stalk shifters may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) 101 - Location and Identification of Controls and Displays and CMVSS 102 – Transmission Control Functions. Under certain conditions, the D-R-N (Drive-Reverse-Neutral) display in the instrument cluster may incorrectly illuminate the "N" on the display when the transmission shifter is in the "D" or "R" position, which is contrary to the requirements of the standards. This could create confusion to the operator, which could increase the risk of injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will update the transmission software.

Description (français)

Certains véhicules munis d'une boîte de vitesses automatique Eaton Ultrashift Plus ou Eaton Advantage dotée d'un levier d'embrayage droit pourraient ne pas satisfaire aux exigences de la Norme de sécurité des véhicules automobiles du Canada (NSVAC) 101 – Emplacement et identification des commandes et des affichages et la NSVAC 102 – Fonctions de la commande de la boîte de vitesses. Dans certaines conditions, l'affichage D-R-N (Drive-Reverse-Neutral) du groupe d'instruments pourraient illuminer la position N alors que le levier d'embrayage est en position D ou R, ce qui va à l'encontre des exigences des normes. Ce problème risque de créer de la confusion pour le conducteur du véhicule et augmenter les risques de blessures et/ou de dommages matériels. Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires doivent mettre à jour le logiciel de la boîte de vitesses.
