Is my product affected?

EATON FR 10-SPEED TRANSMISSION

  • Brand EATON

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Eaton Corporation is recalling certain Eaton Fuller FR-Series 10-speed manual transmissions manufactured between December 18, 2014, and December 21, 2014. The recalled transmissions may remain in reverse gear even after the shift lever is moved to neutral, causing vehicles to move backwards unexpectedly and increasing crash risk. Additionally, when shifting from reverse to a forward gear, both reverse and forward gears may engage simultaneously, potentially locking the transmission mechanically.

The remedy will be handled through vehicle manufacturers who purchased these transmissions. Those manufacturers will notify vehicle owners and repair the issue at no cost. The recall began in September 2015. Owners with questions may contact Eaton's customer service at 1-800-826-4357.
