What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the vehicle could roll freely, increasing the risk of a crash or injury, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Think North America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011 Think City vehicles. The recall addresses a defect in the linkage connecting the gear shift selector lever and the transmission park mechanism. This linkage may be improperly adjusted, resulting in a lack of engagement of the transmission park pawl.

If the park pawl fails to engage, the vehicle may fail to hold when the gear shift selector lever is placed in the Park position. This could allow the vehicle to roll freely, increasing the risk of a crash or injury to a person in the path of the moving vehicle.

Dealers will inspect and make necessary adjustments and repairs to the vehicles free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact Think's authorized toll-free service line at 855-698-4465 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
