The issue

Issue: On certain trucks equipped with an Eaton automated manual transmission and electronic clutch actuator (ECA), a component within the clutch assembly could fail. If this happens, the broken clutch components could prevent the transmission from disengaging or shifting to neutral. This could result in unintended vehicle movement, even if the parking brake is applied. Note: This recall replaces FL-803 (Transport Canada recall 2018-714). Trucks that were repaired under that recall also require this repair. Safety Risk: Sudden and unexpected movement of the vehicle could create a risk of injury or a crash. Corrective Actions: Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a DTNA authorized service facility to replace the clutch and update the transmission software.

Description (français)

Problème : Sur certains camions équipés d'une boîte de vitesses manuelle automatisée Eaton et d'un actionneur d'embrayage électronique (ECA), un composant de l'embrayage pourrait tomber en panne. Si cela se produisait, les composants endommagés de l'embrayage pourraient empêcher la transmission de se désengager ou de passer au point mort, ce qui pourrait entraîner un mouvement involontaire du véhicule, même si le frein de stationnement est serré. Note : Ce rappel remplace le FL-803 (rappel de Transports Canada 2018-714). Les camions qui ont été réparés dans le cadre du dernier rappel ont également besoin de cette réparation. Risques pour la sécurité : Un mouvement soudain et inattendu du véhicule pourrait créer un risque de blessure ou d'accident. Mesures correctives : Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur demander d'amener leur camion à un centre de service agréé par DTNA pour faire remplacer l'embrayage et faire mettre à jour le logiciel de transmission.
