The short version

PACCAR Incorporated reported a problem with the power train manual transmission. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

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.

WHY IT MATTERS

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

WHAT TO DO

Paccar will notify the owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the affected transmissions if necessary, free of charge.
