NHTSA recall 96V003000
Power Train · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The instrument panel cluster trim plate/bezel can sag and cover the light emitting diode portion (lighted pointed above panel) of the transaxle shift indicator display. This does not comply with fmvss no. 101, "control location, identification, and illumination."
Why it matters: Consequence of non-compliance: the driver of the vehicle would not be able to see the actual position of the transaxle gear selector resulting in a driver either inadvertently leaving a parked or idling vehicle in drive, reverse, or neutral rather than park, or selecting an incorrect transaxle…
The fix: Dealers are to install a new instrument panel cluster trim plate/bezel assembly which is not subject to this condition.
