Defect
In the automatic transmission, the shift cable anchor bracket is improperly assembled, resulting in an insufficient engagement at the anchor point. Continued use in this condition allows the shift cable to disengage from the anchor, fixing the transmission in a range that does not correspond to the shift lever position. In the worst case, the vehicle may move unintentionally.
Corrective action
Inspect the cable engagement condition on all vehicles. On any vehicle where engagement is insufficient, correctly reassemble the anchor bracket.
