The defect

On some of the involved vehicles, the shift rod in the transmission may not be properly seated in the retention grommet of the steering column shift lever assembly. If the shift rod were to disengage, the driver could not select the proper transmission function which would create the potential for unexpected movement of the vehicle.

The remedy

Dealer will inspect the shift rod attachment and make sure it IS properly seated at no cost to owner.
