Details

What's wrong: On certain passenger and sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks equipped with automatic transmissions, the software programmed into the powertrain control module can cause a momentary lock up of the drive wheels if the vehicle is traveling over 40 mph and the operator shifts from drive to neutral and back to drive.

Why it matters: If the drive wheels locked up, loss of vehicle control could occur increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will reprogram the powertrain control module free of charge. The recall began on October 2, 2006.
