A POTENTIAL INTERFERENCE BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE AND THE PRNDL BELLCRANK CLIP CAN RESULT IN DISENGAGEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION CABLE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN BALL STUD. THIS COULD ALLOW THE TRANSMISSION TO BE IN A GEAR OTHER THAN THAT DISPLAYED ON THE PRNDL INDICATOR. THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. rnCORRECTION: A NEWLY DESIGNED BELLCRANK CLIP WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
