NHTSA recall 13E073000
Electrical System · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with allison a1000 transmissions. The incorrect software may cause the transmission indicator not to display that gear position "1" has been selected. As such, this vehicle does not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 102, "transmission shift lever sequence, starter interlock, and transmission braking effect."
Why it matters: The transmission position indicator may not show that the transmission is in first gear (1) and not drive (d). If the drivers pulls into traffic, the vehicle's speed would be limited, resulting in an increased risk of a crash.
The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will upload the correct transmission software, free of charge. The recall began on January 27, 2014.
