Issue
On certain vehicles equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission, the shifter cable may detach. This could cause the transmission not to shift gears when the shifter is moved. If a driver attempts to exit the car while it is not in the Park position, and the parking brake is not applied, the car could move suddenly.
Safety risk
Sudden and unexpected movement of the car could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective actions
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to install a new transmission shift cable adjuster.
