Defect
On vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, grease was not adequately removed from the threaded holes during the shift lever fastening process at the factory. Residual grease on the threads prevents the thread-locking compound from bonding effectively. Continued use may cause the bolt to loosen and fall out. In the worst case, shift operation is lost entirely.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, clean the grease from the threaded holes and replace the bolts with the corrected/revised parts.
