What is wrong
THE MAIN SHAFT LOCK NUT MAY COME LOOSE DUE TO AN IMPROPER FASTENING OF THE NUT DURING ASSEMBLY. THE LOOSENESS OF THE NUT CAN PREVENT SHIFTING FROM ONE GEAR TO ANOTHER OR SELECTION OF NEUTRAL. IF THE LOCK NUT COMES COMPLETELY LOOSE ON THE MAIN SHAFT, GREATLY INCREASED INTERNAL FRICTION IN THE TRANSMISSION COULD RESULT. IN EXTREME CASES, THE TRANSMISSION MAY BECOME TOTALLY INOPERABLE. AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE COULD UNEXPECTEDLY EXHIBIT AN EFFECT SIMILAR TO BRAKE APPLICATION.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
VEHICLES WILL BE INSPECTED AND TESTED. IF NECESSARY, THE MAIN SHAFT LOCK NUT WILL BE TIGHTENED PROPERLY AT NO COST 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.
