Recall 1982084

The issue

VEHICLES WITH NON-TILT STEERING COLUMNS. VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN PRODUCED WITH AN INCORRECT INSULATOR INSTALLED IN THE STEERING COLUMN SHIFT CANE LEVER. THE INSULATOR IS USED TO CONNECT THE TRTANSMISSIONS SHIFT LINKAGE TO THE SHIFT LEVER. IF THE SHIFT LINKAGE WERE TO DISENGAGE FROM THE SHIFT LEVER, THE OPERATOR COULD NOT SELECT TRANSMISSION FUNCTIONS. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD THEN REMAIN ENGAGED IN THE LAST GEAR SELECTED BEFORE SEPARATION EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR SELECTOR HAD BEEN MOVED TO A POSITION ASSOCIATED WITH ANOTHER FUNCTION.

Description (français)

Il se peut qu'on ait installé un mauvais isolant dans le levier de vitesses de la colonne de direction de ces véhicules. L'isolent sert à relier la tringlerie de commande de la boîte de vitesses au levier de vitesses. Si la tringlerie devait se dégager du levier de vitesses, le conducteur ne pourrait changer de condition de marche. La boîte de vitesses resterait alors engagée dans la dernière position choisie avant la séparation, même si le conducteur plaçait le levier de vitesses dans une position associée à une autre fonction.
