Recall 1982005

The issue

SHIFT ROD IN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LINKAGE MAY NOT BE PROPERLY SEATED IN THE RETENTION GORMMET OF THE STEERING COLUMN SHIFT LEVER ASSEMBLY. IF THE SHIFT ROD WERE TO DISENGAGE THE OPERATOR COULD NO LONGER SELECT THE TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONS AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD THEN REMAIN IN THE LAST FUNCTION EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR SELECTOR HAD BEEN MOVED TO A POSITION ASSOCIATED WITH ANOTHER FUNCTION. THIS CREATES THE POTENTIAL FOR AN UNEXPECTED VEHICLE MOVEMENT WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT AND PERSONAL INJURIES.

Description (français)

La barre de commande faisant partie de la tringlerie de changement de vitesse peut ne pas être bien montée dans la bague de retenue sur la colonne de direction. Si cette barre de commande se détache de la bague, le conducteur ne peut plus passer le rapport qu'il a choisi, même si l'indicateur le signale, et la boîte de vitesses reste sur le dernier rapport engagné. Cela peut provoquer une réaction inattendue du véhicule qui peut se solder par un accident et des blessures.
