2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
General Motors is recalling certain 2011 Chevrolet Cruze vehicles with automatic transmissions manufactured between October 6, 2009, and April 27, 2011. These vehicles may have a transmission shift linkage that was not properly installed, which could cause the shift lever display to not accurately show what gear the transmission is actually in. This means a driver could move the shifter to Park and remove the key, but the transmission might not actually be in Park.
If the transmission is not in Park when the driver exits the vehicle, the vehicle could roll away and cause a crash without warning, and the driver may not be able to restart the vehicle. Dealers will inspect and adjust the transmission shift linkage system free of charge. Owners should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 or visit WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.
