What NHTSA recorded

On certain vehicles when the accelerator is operated quickly, a small piece of metal may separate from a retaining collar located in the inner part of the automatic transmission. This small piece of metal may become caught in the parking lock mechanism.

Possible consequence

This may cause the parking lock system to be inoperative when the transmission shift lever is placed in the park position, thereby increasing the risk of vehicle roll-away, which could result in a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the transmission. Owner notification is expected to begin during july 2004. Owners should contact lexus at 1-800-255-3987.
