  Reported issue: The park pawl abutment bracket has a sharp edge which can cause the parking pawl to hang up and not engage the park gear. This would allow the vehicle to move even though the gear shift indicator shows that the vehicle is in park.

  Possible consequence: Unintended and unexpected vehicle movement can result in personal injury and property damage.

  Remedy: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the park pawl abutment bracket.
