On certain vehicles, the automatic transmission shift linkage may not have been installed correctly during vehicle assembly. As such, the shift lever indicator may not accurately reflect the actual transmission gear selection. This could allow the driver to move the shifter to PARK and remove the ignition key, even if the transmission gear is not in the PARK position. Should the vehicle roll away, whether attended or not, it could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or a bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, adjust the transmission shift linkage.
