NOTE:
This recall applies only to the above vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission and "Keyless Go" option (sales code GX4) built through
August 19, 2008 (MDH 081914).
IMPORTANT:
Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to complete this recall service on these vehicles
before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in
for service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
Subject
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters on about 6,600 of the above vehicles can be removed from the vehicle when the transmission gear
selector has not been placed in the "Park" position. If the driver turns the engine off but does not place the gear selector in the "Park" position, the
vehicle could move inadvertently and cause a crash without warning. As a result, these vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (FMVSS) No. 114 Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention.
Repair
The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) must be reprogrammed and the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters must be resynchronized to the vehicle.
After this repair, the engine will only turn off when the transmission gear selector has been placed in the "Park" position.
The new software will also correct an intermittent RKE condition and add a time-out feature to prevent draining the battery if the vehicle remains in the
"Accessory" or "Run" mode for more than 30 minutes with the engine off.
NOTE:
The reprogramming procedure can only be performed with the StarMOBILE.
