What are the defects?

In the ACU (Automatic Clutch Unit) of the transmission of the Hybrid trucks equipped with AMT (Automatic Manual Transmission):

1) The water sealing grommets may be deformed and cause water to enter the actuating motors due to incorrect layout of the wires. This may hinder the smooth movement of the brushings causing the warning light to come on, and in the worst case scenario, the brushings may become stuck and the clutch may become inoperable.

2) The actuator brushings may wear prematurely if the vehicle is started and stopped frequently due to inadequate programming of the control software. This may cause the warning light to come on, and if continued to be used without reprogramming, the clutch may become inoperable.

What are the hazards?

The vehicle may become immobilized. This may pose a hazard to other road users.
