General Motors is recalling certain models of the 2009 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR, Malibu, Traverse, GMC Acadia, Pontiac G5, G6, and Saturn Aura and Outlook. They stated that these vehicles fail to comply with federal motor vehicle standard 102, “Transmission shift position sequence, starter interlock, and transmission braking effect”, and FMVSS 114, “Theft protection and rollwaya prevention”. On some of these vehicles, the transmission shift cable adjustment clip may not be fully engaged. If the clip is not fully engaged, the shift lever and actual position of the transmision gear may not match. With this condition, the drive could move the shifter to “park” and remove the ignition key, but the transmission gear may not be in “park”.
Tghe driver may not be able to restart the vehicle and the vehicle could roll away after the driver has exited the vehicle, resulting in a possible crash without prior warning. Dealers will inspect and ensure that the shift cable adjustment clip is fully engaged. In the event that the clip does not engage, the shift cable will be replaced free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or about March 24, 2009. Owners may contact Buick at 1-866-608-8080, Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, Pontiac at 1-800-620-7668 and Saturn at 1-800-972-8876 or at www.gmownercenter.com.
