On certain B700 vehicles, the welds that attach the key to the top of the shift tube may not adequately retain the key, allowing the transmission to be in a gear other than indicated on the PRNDL, or in some cases RNDL. This could result in vehicle roll away when parked or the vehicle proceeding in an unintended direction when the accelerator is pressed. Correction: Steering column shift tube will be replaced and, if required, the park brake linkage will be adjusted.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 1997119.
