Defect
An improper manufacturing process for the outer lever inside the transmission's Gear Shift Unit (GSU) leaves microscopic cracks in the lever. Continued use allows the lever to fracture, making gear changes impossible. In the worst case, the vehicle becomes inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, verify the GSU manufacturing number and, on affected units, replace the outer lever with a non-defective part.
