NHTSA recall 15V245000
Power Train · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the console transmission gear selection indicator may not illuminate the shift position selected. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 102, "transmission shift position sequence, starter interlock, and transmission braking effect."
Why it matters: If the console shift indicator does not illuminate the transmission gear selection, a driver could inadvertently select a transmission position other than the position the driver intended, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Gm has notified owners, and dealers will replace the transmission gear selection control module, free of charge. The recall began on April 20, 2015.
