Details

What's wrong: Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 114, 'theft protection.' When the ignition is switched off, after a period of time, it is possible to remove the ignition key when the transmission shift lever is not in park.

Why it matters: This condition increases the risk of a crash resulting from the unintended movement of parked vehicles.

The fix: Dealers will reprogram the driveline control transfer box electronic control unit (ECU) with revised software. The recall began on June 30, 2006.
