What NHTSA recorded

The shift cable retaining clip may have been installed backwards or not at all. The purpose of this spring clip is to secure the lower end of the shift cable housing to the transmission. If the clip is backward or missing, the console shift lever may not shift the transmission and/or the transmission range indicator may indicate that the transmission is in the "park" or "p" position when it is not.

Remedy

The dealer will inspect and if necessary correct the shift cable retaining clip installation at no charge.
