Details

A safety defect may exist in vehicles in which remanufactured automatic transmissions were installed as service replacement parts.

The shift lever bolt may not have been torqued to the proper torque specification.

If the improperly torqued shift level bolt loosens and backs out, the shift lever may disengage from the transmission without warning, and the transmission may not respond to the shifter selection movement by the operator.

This could result in the loss of transmission gear selection, and possible unintended vehicle movement, which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.

Correction: Dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the shift lever assembly and/or the shift level bolt torqued to the proper specification.
