2010 Buick LaCrosse
Supercede:
The expiration date for this bulletin has been extended to April 30, 2011. Please discard all copies of bulletin 09279, issued October 2009.
This service update includes vehicles in dealer inventory and customer vehicles that return to the dealership for any reason through April 30,
2011.
Purpose
This bulletin provides a service procedure to inspect and ensure that the transmission shift cable clip is fully engaged on certain 2010 model year Buick
LaCrosse vehicles. If the cable is not fully engaged, it could separate from the clip when the driver attempts to shift the vehicle out of PARK. If a
separation occurs, the driver could move the shifter; however, the transmission would remain in PARK. The shift indicator on the console and on the
instrument panel would correctly indicate that the transmission was in PARK.
This service procedure should be completed as soon as possible on involved vehicles currently in dealer inventory and customer vehicles that
return to the dealer for any type of service through April 30, 2011.

A list of involved vehicles currently in dealer inventory is available on the "Service Update Bulletin Information" link under the "Service" tab in GM
