The problem
The transfer cases have been built with the wrong electric shift motor. The transfer cases can slip out of the 4 x 4 high gear position during coasting in forward gears or with power applied in reverse gear.
The risk
If this occurs, the vehicle can roll freely as if inneutral position regardless of the transmission gear selector position. This canresult in loss of vehicle control and an accident.
The fix
Replace defective transfer cases with the correct version.
