## What is wrong

ON VEHICLES WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS, THE SHIFT LEVER LOCKING PIN MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY WELDED TO THE SHIFT LEVER PAWL. DURING FORCEFUL SHIFTING, THE PIN MAY BREAK LOOSE ALLOWING THE SHIFT LEVER TO BE INADVERTENTLY MOVED FROM "D" TO "R" WITHOUT PRESSING THE RELEASE BUTTON. IF THIS OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, IT COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND VEHICLE CRASH.

CORRECTION: SHIFT LOCKING PAWL WILL BE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
