What is wrong
Eaton Corporation (Eaton) is recalling certain Eaton Fuller FR-Series 10-speed manual transmissions, models FR-14210B, FRF-15210B, FRF-9210B, FRM-15210B, FRO-11210B, FRO-13210B, FRO-14210C, FRO-15210C, FRO-16210B, FRO-16210C, FROF-11210C, FROF-12210C, FROF-13210C, FROF-14210C, FROF-15210C, and FROF-16210C, manufactured December 18, 2014, to December 21, 2014. When the transmission shift lever is moved from reverse to neutral, the reverse gear may stay engaged. When the transmission shift lever is moved from reverse to a forward gear position, the transmission may mechanically lock because both the reverse gear and forward gear are simultaneously engaged.
What can happen
Even though the transmission has been shifted out of reverse into neutral, the vehicle may unexpectedly move backwards, increasing the risk of a crash.

Recall repairs are free of charge.
Eaton will notify the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the transmissions. Those vehicle manufacturers will notify owners and remedy the recall issue, free of charge. The recall began in September 2015. Owners may contact Eaton's customer service number at 1-800-826-4357.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
