What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: A driveline engagement defect that can allow the vehicle to roll away in PARK is a structural vehicle defect, and the notice imposes an interim use restriction.
