On certain vehicles, the automatic transaxle shift lever appears to be in PARK, but can easily be moved from the PARK position without the use of the key, transaxle lever detent button, or depressing the brake. If the shift lever were to come out of PARK while the vehicle is parked on a non-level surface, a roll away could occur with the possibility of a crash without prior warning. Correction: Shifter assembly will be replaced.
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 1998189.
