## What is wrong

On certain Ranger Electric vehicles, the transaxle may have been manufactured with the park detent spring misaligned.  If the spring is misaligned, the park mechanism may not engage when the shift lever is placed in the park position. If the park mechanism does not engage and the operator has not applied the parking brake, the vehicle may be free to roll as if in neutral which could potentially result in a vehicle crash.  Correction:  Transaxles with misaligned park detent springs will be replaced.
