OVER TIME, THE SHIFT CABLE COULD BE PULLED OUT OF THE ROD END CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOSE THE ABILITY TO MANUALLY CHANGE TRANSMISSION GEARS.
Risk
WITH THIS CONDITION, THE VEHICLE MAY MOVE IN A DIRECTION NOT ANTICIPATED BY THE DRIVER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW SHIFT CABLE.
