What is wrong
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH EATON AUTOSHIFT GEN II TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLIES. DUE TO A SOFTWARE PROBLEM IN THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLIES, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SELECT THE WRONG GEAR.

The remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE AUTOSHIFT TRANSMISSIONS. EATON PERFORMED THE CAMPAIGN FOR THE KENWORTH PORTION. HOWEVER PETERBILT WILL BE CONDUCTING THEIR OWN CAMPAIGN.
