## What is wrong

THE TRANSMISSION BRACKET END FITTING MAY SEPARATE FROM THE SHIFT CABLE CONDUIT. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, THE OPERATOR WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION FROM ONE OF THE DRIVE GEAR POSITIONS INTO THE PARK POSITION EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR SHIFT SELECTOR WOULD INDICATE "PARK.  THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN UNINTENDED VEHICLE MOVEMENT IF THE PARKING BRAKE IS NOT SET.

CORRECTION: A NEW TRANSMISSION SHIFT CONTROL CABLE WILL BE INSTALLED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES.
