GM Recalls 2014 Vehicles for Transmission Shift Cable Defect

Plain-English summary

General Motors LLC is recalling certain model year 2014 Buick Regal, LaCrosse, Verano, and Enclave, and Chevrolet Impala, Malibu, Cruze, and Traverse, and GMC Acadia vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. The recall involves approximately 355,000 vehicles.

In the affected vehicles, the transmission shift cable adjuster may disengage from the transmission shift lever. If this occurs while driving, the driver may be unable to shift gears, and the indicated shift position may not match the actual gear position. Specifically, the driver might shift the lever to "PARK" while the transmission remains in a different gear, creating a risk that the vehicle will roll away when occupants exit.

General Motors will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace any affected transmission shift cable adjusters free of charge. The recall began on April 10, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, Buick at 1-800-521-7300, or GMC at 1-800-462-8782. General Motors' number associated with this recall is 14048.
