NHTSA recall 00V344000
Power Train · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Some of these vehicles were assembled with the transaxle shift cable clip missing or improperly seated. Without the clip, the cable can slip out of its bracket and the transaxle lever would not move along with the shift lever. The driver may put the shift lever in park, but the transaxle may be in reverse or neutral.
Why it matters: Unexpected movement of the vehicle could cause a crash without prior warning.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the transaxle shift cable retainer clip to verify proper installation and, if necessary, replace the clip and adjust the cable to specifications.
