Details

What's wrong: A transmission case bolt can loosen and fall out allowing the transmission to disengage from the differential.

Why it matters: The vehicle could lose power to the drive wheels without warning. Also, shifting the transmission into the park position would not lock the wheels, and a parked vehicle could move unexpectedly if the parking brake is not set.

The fix: Dealers will install a redesigned bolt.
