Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which the transmission shift lever can be moved from the "park" position with the ignition "on" and without the operator depressing the brake pedal or, in some cases, the shifter can be moved from the "park" position with the ignition turned off.

Why it matters: If the vehicle is parked or parked on a slope, this condition could allow the vehicle to roll increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the pawl stopper and a bushing within the shifter assembly free of charge. The recall began on December 3, 2008.
