Reported risk: Certain vehicles equipped with 6.2L gasoline engines and 6R100 transmissions may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 102 - Transmission Control Functions and CMVSS 114 - Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention. The park rod actuating plate may have been damaged during manufacturing, which could inhibit transmission parking pawl engagement. If the operator were to move the shift lever to park, the transmission may not achieve mechanical park, which if the parking brake is not applied, could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect the park rod actuating plate and replace as necessary. Note: In the interim, owners are advised to use the parking brake whenever the transmission shift lever is in the Park position until the vehicle is repaired.
