614 of 17,656 recalls from Transport Canada and NHTSA.
On certain 2WD trucks equipped with a manual transmission, the driveshaft yoke may break. This could result in a loss of vehicle control and cause a crash without warning.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the driveshaft.
On certain vehicles, the bolt securing the transmission oil cooler line fittings at the transmission may not have been sufficiently torqued during vehicle assembly. As a result, the bolt may loosen and the cooler lines may disengage from the transmission, causing a transmission fluid leak and loss of power to the drive wheels. If leaking transmission fluid contacts the catalytic converter, it may pose a risk of fire under certain conditions.
No risk description available.
Dealers will tighten the transmission cooler line attachment bolt.
On certain vehicles, the retaining clip that secures the gear shift cable to the shift lever can contact the lever housing if excessive lateral force is applied when shifting to first gear. Repeated shifting in this manner can eventually cause the retaining clip to break. Should this happen, the shift cable can become disconnected from the lever, resulting in loss of the ability to change transmission gears. This can result in a crash without prior warning.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the gear shift cable retaining clip with a clip that has a different shape.
On certain motorcycles, an O-ring seal in the final-drive assembly may have been installed incorrectly during vehicle assembly. An oil leak in this area could contaminate the rear brake disc. If this were to occur, brake performance could be affected resulting in increased stopping distance.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the O-ring seal.
On certain Escape Hybrid vehicles, the intermediate shaft used in the front wheel driveline may not have received adequate heat treat process during manufacturing. As a result, the intermediate shaft may fracture while the vehicle is being driven. If a fracture occurs the powertrain will lose the ability to transmit torque to the drive wheels and the transmission will not hold the vehicle stationary when placed in the PARK position.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the intermediate shaft.
On certain motorcycles, abnormal wear of certain transmission components could result in a broken retaining circlip. If the circlip breaks, the transmission could lock up, which would also cause the rear wheel to lock up. This could result in loss of control and a crash, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.
No risk description available.
Dealer will replace certain transmission components with new ones.
On certain trucks, an improperly seated or missing u-joint snap ring can result in the bearing cup to separate from the slip yoke sub-assembly. The u-joint could then contact the slip yoke casting and eventually cause the ear to fracture. This could result in additional damage to the driveline, the vehicle and any nearby objects.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the driveshafts.
On certain vehicles equipped with the 42RLE automatic transmission, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) may cause a momentary lock up of the drive wheels if the vehicle is traveling over 65 kph and the operator shifts from drive to neutral and back to drive.
No risk description available.
Dealers will reprogram the PCM.
On certain motorcycles that have had transmission replacement kits installed, third gear is prone to failure.
No risk description available.
Dealers will install a rear sprocket hub damper assembly to reduce the shock loads to the transmission.
On certain motorcycles equipped with the Gates drive belt system, the front hub nut may fail due to wear of the hub, potentially resulting in a transmission lockup.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the front sprocket assembly.
Certain vehicles equipped with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) fail to comply with CMVSS 101. The odometer and trip record counter are calibrated in miles rather than kilometres.
No risk description available.
Dealers will reprogram the odometer to record the distance traveled in kilometres. Where such reprogramming is not feasible or practical, the odometer will be replaced with one recording in kilometres.
On certain vehicles equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission, the hydraulic clutch master cylinder linkage rod may break. This may not allow disengagement of the clutch when the pedal is depressed, which could result in unintentional vehicle movement, increased stopping distance and engine stalling. This could cause a vehicle crash without warning.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the clutch master cylinder linkage rod.
On certain vehicles equipped with a constant velocity transmission (CVT), the connection between the transmission gear selector rod and the lock plate may not have been laser-welded correctly. If the weld were to break, the gear currently engaged would remain in position. It would no longer be possible to shift transmission gear positions using the selector lever. The display for the transmission in the instrument cluster may then show a gear position that does not correspond to the actual gear position of the transmission. The potential exists for the vehicle to pull away from stop in the opposition direction to that desired, or if the vehicle was parked on an incline of sufficient grade, and the parking brake was not engaged, this could result in a vehicle rollaway condition.
No risk description available.
Dealers will inspect the transmission gear selector rod to lock plate weld and, if necessary, will replace the CVT transmission.
On certain vehicles, the rear differential left bearing retainer may be cracked due to a manufacturing defect. A cracked retainer can allow oil leakage from the rear differential. With continued use, this can lead to the rear differential gears becoming locked and the vehicle disabled.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the left-side rear differential retainer.
On certain motorcycles, the transmission may go into a false neutral position even though the neutral indicator light is illuminated. If this happens, the motorcycle could drop into gear unexpectedly and create the risk of a crash or injuries.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the shifter cam (drum), the detent arm, and the neutral switch.
Certain vehicles may have an incorrectly manufactured guide plate which could hinder the function of the transmission parking pawl. Consequently, PARK may not engage when the lever in the vehicle is moved to PARK and all indicators show PARK position is achieved. If the vehicle was parked on an incline of sufficient grade, and the parking brake was not engaged, the vehicle could roll away.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the parking pawl guide plate.
Certain vehicles may have an incorrectly manufactured guide plate which could hinder the function of the transmission parking pawl. Consequently, PARK may not engage when the button in the vehicle is pressed to select PARK and all indicators show PARK position is achieved. If the vehicle was parked on an incline of sufficient grade, and the parking brake was not engaged, the vehicle could roll away.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the parking pawl guide plate.

On certain vehicles, the guide plate of the automatic transmission's parking lock pawl subsystem may fail. This could cause the parking lock pawl not to engage, after placing the transmission in the PARK position. If the vehicle was parked on an incline of sufficient grade, and the parking brake was not engaged, the vehicle could roll away.
No risk description available.
Dealers will replace the guide plate.
