Details
What's wrong: This is not a safety recall in accordance with federal regulation 573. However, it is deemed a safety improvement campaign by the agency. Drivers can mistakenly step on the accelerator pedal when they intend to step on the brake pedal.
Why it matters: Pedal misapplication by a driver can cause unintended acceleration.
The fix: Dealers will install a shift interlock on the automatic transmission of these vehicles.
