The risk
Due to a software error in the transmission control unit, if the vehicle is parked in reverse gear and the engine restarted and neutral or first gear is then selected, the vehicle may not move, may stall or in the worst case may move backwards unexpectedly. This unexpected reverse movement could cause an accident.
