• 00V310000Oct 12, 200065,000 vehicles potentially affected
  Power train › Automatic transmission › Park/neutral start interlock switch
  Covers: Saturn SC 2000–2001, SL 2000–2001, SW 2000–2001 +1 more

  Reported issue: Vehicle description: certain passenger vehicles, equipped with automatic transaxles, fail to comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 114, "theft protection." these vehicles were built with an improperly adjusted automatic transaxle park lock cable assembly. If improperly adjusted, it is possible to shift from the "park" position with the ignition key removed.

  Possible consequence: This condition increases the risk of a crash resulting from the unintended movement of parked vehicles.

  Remedy: Saturn is asking owners and retailers to perform a functional check of the automatic transaxle park lock cable assembly operation, and if necessary, to have the cable adjusted. If owners are not comfortable performing the functional check themselves, they can have their dealer perform this inspection for them.
