What Happened
The park lock function in your SUV's automatic transmission might not work correctly. It's a safety feature that keeps your vehicle from rolling away when you put it in park.
Risk if Unfixed
If the park lock fails, your vehicle could roll away without warning, even if you think it's in park. This could cause a crash or personal injury, especially if you're on a steep hill or in a parking lot.
Free Fix
Your dealer will check the park lock function, reposition the automatic transmission breather tube, and test/flush the transmission fluid if needed — all at no cost to you. The repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
