Defect

On large trucks equipped with a mechanical automated transmission, insufficient strength consideration during design of the gear-shift motor allows excessive tensile force to act on the winding crimp joint at the completion of each gear shift. Repeated shifting may cause the winding wire to fracture. This causes the warning light to illuminate, prevents gear shifting, and may render the vehicle inoperable.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the gear-shift motor with a corrected/revised part.
