Defect
On harvesting and threshing machines, the left-turn clutch case in the power transmission unit was improperly manufactured, resulting in insufficient strength. Hydraulic pressure applied during left turns causes cracks to form in the clutch case, leading to an oil leak. In the worst case, the clutch case may break apart, making the machine unable to turn.
Corrective action
1. Replace the clutch case on all vehicles with a corrected part.
