NHTSA Campaign #

Summary
The park pawl abutment bracket has a sharp edge which can cause the parking pawl to hang up and not engage the park gear. This would allow the vehicle to move even though the gear shift indicator shows that the vehicle is in park.
Actions
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the park pawl abutment bracket.
