What is wrong
THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO REMAIN IN REVERSE GEAR EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFTER IS PLACED IN THE PARK-BRAKE POSITION IF THE OPERATOR HAS NOT PLACED THE SHIFTER INTO THE PARK-BRAKE DETENT.
What can happen
EVEN THOUGH THE PARKING BRAKE IS SET WHEN THE SHIFTER ISIN THE P-B POSITION, THE VEHICLE REMAINS IN REVERSE GEAR AND COULD MOVE WITHOUTPRIOR WARNING. THIS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY TO ANYONE STANDINGBEHIND THE VEHICLE.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
INSTALL AN AUDIBLE ALARM THAT SOUNDS WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE IS SET AND THE TRANSMISSION IS IN REVERSE, TO WARN THE OPERATOR THAT THE SHIFTER HAS NOT BEEN PLACED IN THE PARK-BRAKE DETENT. ALSO, INCORPORATE A CAUTION LABEL ON THE GEAR SHIFT SELECTOR HANDLE, INSTRUCTING THE OPERATOR TO CONFIRM THE SHIFTER IS IN THE PARK-BRAKE DETENT POSITION.

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.
