IF THE CAR IS LEFT UNATTENDED WITH THE KEY REMOVED AND THE IGNITION SWITCH NOT IN LOCK POSITION, THE CAR CAN
BE EASILY STOLEN. STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT STOLEN CARS ARE FREQUENTLY INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS.
IGNITION LOCK SWITCH CYLINDER WILL BE REPLACED.
SYSTEM: LOCK, IGNITION SYSTEM, FMVSS 114.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CAR. DESCRIPTION DEFECT: THE IGNITION KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION
SWITCH IN POSITIONS OTHER THAN THE LOCK POSITIONS. FMVSS 114 REQUIRES THAT WHEN THE KEY IS REMOVED FROM THE
IGNITION SWITCH THAT EITHER THE STEERING OR TRANSMISSION BE LOCKED. REMOVAL OF THE KEY WHEN NOT IN THE LOCK
