On certain vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, the shift cable could detach from the transmission shift linkage while the driver is attempting to change gears. If the transmission moves into neutral and remains there, the ability to accelerate or maintain speed will be lost, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the shift cable and, if necessary, install a retaining clip over the end of the shift cable to prevent it from detaching from the transmission.
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 2002144.
