Defect
On full-time 4WD light trucks equipped with an automated mechanical transmission, the transmission control software is incorrectly calibrated. If rear-wheel slip persists during launch, engine speed rises uncontrollably and, in the worst case, unintended acceleration may occur.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the automated mechanical transmission control unit with the corrected/updated software.
