Details
What's wrong: The affected vehicles may have a damaged steering column-mounted shift lever module. If the internal circuit board is damaged, moving the shift lever will not select a transmission gear.
Why it matters: If the vehicle does not move forward or backward as selected by the driver with the shift lever, there is an increased risk of a crash.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will replace the steering column-mounted shift lever module, free of charge. The recall began April 2017.
