On certain vehicles, rust build-up on the automatic transmission shift linkage, due to an insufficient corrosion inhibiting ability, may cause the linkage the bind. As a result, the effort required to operate the shift control lever may increase. In the worst case, the shift control lever may become inoperative, or the transmission gear position indicated on the shift lever housing may not match the actual gear selection at the transmission. Correction: Dealers will install a modified shift control lever assembly. Note: This recall is superseded by recall 2008172.
