Filing in context
The Shift Lever / Pedal is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 22 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 12 Toyota notifications from 2003 in this archive. For scale, 822 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 3 months.
Issue
The resin guide on the shift-lock release link in automatic transmission vehicles was molded to an incorrect shape. The link may catch on the guide and fail to return, leaving the shift lock disengaged. As a result, the gear selector may be movable out of Park without the brake pedal being depressed.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the shift-lock release link for proper operation and replace any defective link with a corrected part.
