What is being recalled

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT-CABLE LOCK CLIP CAN BACK OUT OF ITS INSTALLED POSITION RESULTING IN A LOSS OF CABLE ADJUSTMENT. WHEN THE SHIFT LEVER IS PLACED IN THE "PARK" POSITION, THE "PARK" INDICATOR LIGHT MAY NOT ILLUMINATE.

Why it is dangerous

THE VEHICLE CAN MOVE UNINTENTIONALLY IF THE DRIVER DOES NOT NOTICE THAT THE INDICATOR LIGHT IS NOT ON AND DOES NOT APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE.

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

DEALERS WILL ADJUST THE SHIFT CABLE AND INSTALL A LOCK CLIP.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 95V-139 when calling a dealer.
