NHTSA recall 01V062000

What's wrong: If the transaxle attaching bolts begin to loosen, the driver could notice a jerking motion and/or a clunking sound. If not serviced promptly, all nine bolts could ultimately fall out or fracture and the transaxle could drop. If the transaxle drops, the vehicle may no longer be in the gear indicated.

Why it matters: If this occurs, the shift lever could be put into "park" and the vehicle would still be free to roll as if in "neutral," increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the mounting bolts with longer bolts that include a thread lock material. When installed, the new bolts will be tightened to a higher torque. Owner notification began May 8, 2001.
