What is wrong
IGNITION SWITCHES INSTALLED IN THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN DISTORTED DURING A CRIMPING OPERATION WHICH RESULTED IN THE INTERNAL PLASTIC CONTACT CARRIER OF THE SWITCH CRACKING. PIECES OF A CRACKED CARRIER MAY BREAK AWAY, PERMITTING ABNORMAL SWITCH ELECTRICAL CONTACT AND THE POTENTIAL FOR STARTER ACTUATON WHEN THE SWITCH IS TURNED TO THE ACCESSORY POSITION.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
ALL SUSPECT IGNITION SWITCHES WILL BE REPLACED WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
