Details
What's wrong: The transmission bracket end fitting can separate from the shift cable assembly resulting in operator inability to shift the transmission from one of the drive gear positions into the park position.
Why it matters: This condition can result in unintended vehicle movement if the parking brake is not set.
The fix: Dealers will install a new transmission shift control cable.
