Details
What's wrong: If the subject vehicles are repeatedly parked by placing the shift lever into the "p" position without applying the parking brake, the parking lock rod, a component of the transmission parking lock system, could break.
Why it matters: This condition can render the system inoperative, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the parking lock rod.
