The official notice
Defect
On certain vehicles equipped with a 3.3L V6 engine, 6-speed transmission and a column mounted gear shift lever, rapid movement of the transmission shifter from Park to Drive may cause loss of PRNDL gear indication in the instrument cluster, and momentary engagement of Reverse operation before the vehicle achieves forward Drive function. This could result in unintended vehicle movement, or alternatively, an operator may experience momentary Neutral operation rather than Reverse. Unintended vehicle movement may increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property.
