Defect
On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, the retaining screws for the shift and parking brake lever are insufficiently torqued, allowing the screws to loosen during use. Continued use may cause the retaining screws to fracture and the lever to disengage. In the worst case, the parking brake cannot be applied or released.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the lever retaining screws with new screws, apply thread-locking compound to the threads, and torque to the specified value.
