The issue
On certain P3 vehicles with i-beam front suspensions and automatic transmissions, the shift lever may not drop into the "park" detent when placed into the "park" position. This would allow the shift lever to move from "park" to "reverse" without the operator having to lift the shift lever and could result in the transmission being placed in reverse gear unintentionally. This could cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. Correction: Vehicles will be inspected and shift linkage and steering column will be adjusted if necessary. If adjustment is ineffective, the upper steering column bracket will be replaced.
Description (français)
Sur certain P3 à suspension avant à poutre et transmission automatique, il se peut que le levier de changement de vitesse ne se verrouille pas en position "PARK" (stationnement), ce qui permettrait au levier de passer de la position de stationnement à la, position de marche arrière sans que le chauffeur ait à le soulever. On pourrait donc passer en marche arrière involontairement, ce qui pourrait causer un accident imprévisible.
