Dear General Motors Customer:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
General Motors has decided that certain 2009 model year Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6, and Saturn AURA vehicles equipped with a 4-speed
transmission fail to conform to Federal/Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 102 , "Transmission Shift Position Sequence, Starter Interlock, and
Transmission Braking Effect", and Standard 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention". As a result, GM is conducting a recall. We apologize for
this inconvenience. However, we are concerned about your safety and continued satisfaction with our products.
Important
-
Your vehicle is involved in recall 09077.
-
Schedule an appointment with your GM dealer/retailer.
-
This service will be performed for you at no charge.
Why is your vehicle being recalled?
Recently, you may have brought your vehicle in for an inspection of the shift cable adjustment clip; however, there is one additional repair we would like
to perform on the transmission shift cable.
The end fitting tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. If the tabs were to separate, the shift lever and the actual position of the
transmission gear may not match. With this condition, the driver could move the shifter to PARK and remove the ignition key, but the transmission gear
may not be in PARK. The driver may not be able to restart the vehicle and the vehicle could roll away after the driver has exited the vehicle, resulting in
a possible crash without prior warning.
What will we do?
Your GM dealer/retailer will repair the transmission shift cable. This service will be performed for you at no charge. Because of service scheduling
requirements, it is likely that your dealer/retailer will need your vehicle longer than the service correction time of approximately 20 minutes. If the
transmission shift cable requires replacement, an additional hour will be required.
If your vehicle is within the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, your dealer/retailer may provide you with shuttle service or some other form of courtesy
