## What is wrong

Daimler Trucks North America, LLC \(DTNA\) is recalling certain model year 2015\-2016 Freightliner Cascadia, Business Class M2, 108SD, 114SD, and Western Star 4700 trucks manufactured January 4, 2015, to April 24, 2015, and equipped with Eaton Fuller FR 10\-speed manual transmissions.  In the affected vehicles, when the transmission shift lever is moved from reverse to neutral, the reverse gear may stay engaged.  When the transmission shift lever is moved from reverse to a forward gear position, the transmission may mechanically lock because both the reverse gear and forward gear are simultaneously engaged.


## What can happen

Even though the transmission has been shifted out of reverse into neutral, the vehicle may unexpectedly move backwards, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the affected transmissions if necessary, free of charge.  The recall began on November 24, 2015.  Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1\-800\-745\-8000.  DTNA's number for this recall is FL\-693.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
