The problem
A retaining clip that connects the transmission shift cable to the shift lever actuating rod can have insufficient retention pressure and may eventually come off after repeated shift lever operation. If this happens, the position of the shift lever may not match the actual transmission gear position.
The risk
This could result in unanticipated vehicle movement and accident.
The fix
Dealers will install an improved retaining clip.
