2013 CHEVROLET CAPRICE; 2011 CHEVROLET CAPRICE; 2012 CHEVROLET CAPRICE
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
General Motors is recalling certain 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicles manufactured between March 24, 2011, and December 6, 2013. The vehicles have a transmission selector lever with two pins that can become displaced, which could allow the driver to shift out of "Park" without pressing the brake pedal or remove the ignition key while the transmission is still in "Park." These conditions create risks of unintended vehicle motion and rollaway, potentially causing crashes and injuries to occupants and bystanders.
To remedy the issue, dealers will replace the shift lever roll pin, replace the base pivot pin, and attach a Brake Transmission Shift Interlock retention enhancement clip at no charge. Owners should contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 to arrange service. GM's recall number is 14549, and the recall began on October 27, 2014.
