By Ronnie Fung, Autoblog.com - Transport Canada has released a recall today that potentially affects 40,000 units. This recall affects 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibus and Pontiac G6s as well as 2007-2010 Saturn Auras.
The safety recall is associated to a potential problem in the automatic transmission. It has been warned that the 'shift cable locking tabs' may potentially break. If the tabs break the tranny may not lock into the 'Park' position and may not correlate with what the gear indicator shows.
Several problems may arise from this. While the driver may still remove the key from the ignition, the automatic locks may not function as desired and the 'park' illuminator will not be illuminated. More importantly, the driver may not even be able to restart the vehicle upon re-entry.
Dealers will install a shift cable retainer clip or replace the entire shift cable assembly if necessary.
