Issue
On the affected trucks, Allison Transmission Corporation has determined that a very
small number of transmissions may have been produced with a non-conforming park
pawl actuator assembly. The non-conforming assembly may cause higher effort in
moving the shift selector out of park.
Action
1. Allison Transmission Corporation warrants the transmission park pawl actuator
assembly and is conducting a Product Satisfaction Field Action to inspect and, if
necessary, repair the park pawl actuator assembly in the affected trucks.
2. Allison Transmission Corporation has contacted all Allison distributors and
authorized service centers (including authorized Ford dealers). Allison is
providing these facilities with parts, technical instructions, and claiming
instructions for the inspection and repair of the park pawl actuator assembly.
3. This notification is for your information only. Allison Transmission Corporation is
conducting the Product Satisfaction Field Action and Ford Motor Company has no
administrative responsibilities for this action.
4. DO NOT SUBMIT WARRANTY CLAIMS TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY.
5. Allison Transmission Corporation has also sent all affected owners a letter asking
them to have the transmission parking pawl actuator assembly inspected and if
necessary, repaired at an authorized service center.
NOTE​

​

: OASIS is activated to help dealers identify which vehicles may be eligible under

this program. Because this is a program being conducted by Allison Transmission
Corporation, the Open/Closed status in OASIS will not be updated as vehicles are
repaired under the program. As a result, dealers must verify vehicle eligibility with
Allison Transmission Company (800-252-5283) prior to performing repairs. Claims are to
be submitted directly to Allison Transmission Company.​

these were 35... or 36.... series allisons much bigger than the 1000's

a lot of them have allison 2400's/2000 series. The biggest ones have the allison 3000 series. The 2000 series is identical to our 1000's except has slightly different gear ratios to deal with bigger loads. The 3000 series trans's are much bigger.
