THE PARK CAM PLATE STOPS IN THE TRANSMISSION EXTENSION HOUSING MAY BE MISLOCATED DUE TO CORE SHIFTING. THIS CONDITION MAY RESULT IN THE PARKING PAWL NOT ENGAGING WHEN THE SELECTOR LEVER IS PLACE IN THE "PARK~ POSITION. THIS MAY ALLOW AN UNATTENDED VEHICLE TO ROLL FREE IF THE PARKING BRAKE IS NOT ENGAGED.
A failure of this component (not entered) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND OPTIONAL TILT STEERING COLUMN. VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITH DEFORMED SHIFT SELECTOR LEVER REACTION SPRINGS WHICH CAN REDUCE OR ELIMINATE THE FORCE ON THE SELECTOR LEVER ACTING TO PUSH THE LEVER INTO THE INSERT DETENTS IN THE STEERING COLUMN. A DRIVER MAY FAIL TO ENGAGE THE "PARK" POSITION DUE TO THE ABSENCE OF THE SPRING FORCE OR THE SELECTOR LEVER COULD BE MOVED OUT OF "PARK~ WITHOUT THE DRIVER FIRST PULLING THE LEVER TOWARD THE STEERING WHEEL. AN UNATTENDED VEHICLE WITH THE SELECTOR LEVER NOT ENGAGED IN "PARK" AND WITHOUT THE PARKING BRAKE ON COULD ROLL AWAY CAUSING INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

THIS DEFECT MAY ALLOW A PARKED VEHICLE TO ROLL FREE IF THE MANUAL PARKING BRAKE HAS NOT BEEN ENGAGED.

SINCE THE OPTION INCLUDED SEAT-MOUNTED SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES, THE POSSIBILITY OF OCCUPANT INJURY EXISTS IF THE SEAT IS NOT LATCHED PROPERLY. A PARTIALLY ENGAGED LATCH MAY ALSO FAIL THE SEAT BELT ANCHORAGE LOADING REQUIREMENTS OF C.M.V.S.S. 210.
