- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 14V434000
- Manufacturer's number: 123
- Manufacturer: Hyundai Motor Company
- Reported: 2014\-07\-18

## What is wrong

Hyundai Motor Company \(Hyundai\) is recalling certain model year 2011\-2014 Sonata vehicles manufactured December 11, 2009, through May 29, 2014.  In the affected vehicles, the transmission shift cable may detach from from the shift lever pin.


## What can happen

If the transmission shift cable detaches, the transmission gear selection may not match the indicated gear and the vehicle may move in an unintended or unexpected direction, increasing the risk of a crash.  Furthermore, when the driver parks the vehicle, despite selecting the 'PARK' position, the transmission may not be in 'PARK.'  If the vehicle is not in the 'PARK' position and the parking brake is not applied, there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter.  A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.


## The remedy

Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, repair the connection between the shift cable and shift lever, free of charge.  The recall began in September 2014.  Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1\-800\-633\-5151.  Hyundai's number for this recall is 123.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
