## What is wrong

General Motors \(GM\) is recalling certain model year 2013 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, and Escalade EXT; Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, and Tahoe; and GMC Savana, Sierra HD, Sierra LD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles, manufactured between November 7, 2012, through December 18, 2012, for failing to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) No. 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect", and FMVSS No. 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."  The vehicles may have been built with a fractured park lock cable or a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly.


## What can happen

As a result, the vehicle may shift from Park with the ignition key removed or the ignition key in the OFF position. The vehicle may also shift out of Park without application of the brake pedal while the key is off.  Either of these scenarios may cause the vehicle to roll away after the driver has exited the vehicle, resulting in a possible vehicle crash and/or injury.


## The remedy

GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the affected vehicles and replace the steering column as necessary, free of charge.  The recall began on January 21, 2013.  Chevrolet owners may call 1\-800\-630\-2438.  Cadillac owners may call 1\-866\-982\-2339.  GMC owners may call 1\-866\-996\-9463.
