SUMMARY:
General Motors is recalling 17,301 M/Y 2004 Cadillac SRX vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission. Some of these vehicles have a condition
in which the transmission shift lever can be moved from the "PARK" position with the ignition "ON" and without the operator depressing the brake
pedal or, in some cases, the shifter can be moved from the "PARK" position with the ignition turned off.
CONSEQUENCE:
If the vehicle is parked or parked on a slope, this condition could allow the vehicle to roll increasing the risk of a crash.
REMEDY:
Dealers will replace the pawl stopper and a bushing within the shifter assembly free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during December 2008.
