Mercury Recall : Ford/Auto Transmission
1996 Mercury Sable
Unintended and unexpected vehicle movement can result in personal injury and property damage.
Power Train — Automatic Transmission — Gear Position Indication (Prndl)
Date Announced
SEP 05, 1996
Vehicles Affected
40,000
NHTSA Campaign #
96V166000
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.
