Description of Defect :

Description of the Defect : The transmission assembly in the subject vehicles uses a clutch piston to
engage brake clutch discs to plates to transfer power from the engine to the
wheels. There is a possibility that, due to an issue in the design of a certain
brake clutch disc, when the transmission is shifted to the neutral position and
pressure is removed from the clutch piston, the brake clutch discs will not
immediately disengage from the plates, allowing some engine power to
continue to transfer to the wheels. If this condition occurs when the vehicle is
on a flat surface, and if the driver does not apply the service brake or the
parking brake, it could allow a vehicle to inadvertently creep forward at a low
speed (up to approximately 4 mph), which could increase the risk of a crash.
FMVSS 1 : NR
FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : If this condition occurs when the vehicle is on a flat surface, and if the driver
does not apply the service brake or the parking brake, it could allow a vehicle
to inadvertently creep forward at a low speed (up to approximately 4 mph),
which could increase the risk of a crash.
Description of the Cause : NR
