Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
General Motors is recalling certain 2013 model year Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, and Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles manufactured between November 7, 2012, and December 18, 2012. The vehicles have a defect in the transmission shift mechanism that may cause the vehicle to shift out of Park even when the ignition key is removed or in the OFF position, and the vehicle may shift out of Park without the brake pedal being pressed while the key is off. This could allow the vehicle to roll away after the driver exits, potentially causing a crash or injury.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the affected vehicles and replace the steering column free of charge. The recall began on January 21, 2013. Owners can contact their vehicle manufacturer's customer service line: Chevrolet owners may call 1-800-630-2438, Cadillac owners may call 1-866-982-2339, and GMC owners may call 1-866-996-9463.
