What Happened

The park pawl anchor shaft is a small metal part that helps your transmission stay in 'park' gear. In some 2005 models with the 42RLE transmission, this part might not be installed correctly.

Risk if Unfixed

If the park pawl anchor shaft moves out of place, your vehicle could roll away without warning, even if you think it's in 'park'. This could cause an accident.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your dealer will inspect the transmission and install a bracket to keep the park pawl anchor shaft in the right spot, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible.
