| Details | THE AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE PARK MECHANISM MAY NOT PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING EVEN IF THE TRANSAXLE SHIFT LEVER IS FIRMLY PLACED IN THE "PARK" POSITION. IF THE DRIVER IS UNAWARE THAT THE PARK MECHANISM OF THE TRANSAXLE HAS NOT PROPERLY ENGAGED AND LEAVES THE VEHICLE UNATTENDED WITHOUT SETTING THE PARKING BRAKE, THE VEHICLE COULD BE FREE TO ROLL AS IF IN NEUTRAL. THIS COULD RESULT IN A CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION: PARK MECHANISM WILL BE INSPECTED AND, IF NECESSARY, A NEW PARK PAWL SHAFT WILL BE INSTALLED IN THE TRANSAXLE. |
