Defect
On certain vehicles, water could enter the rear combination lamp assemblies due to an improper seal. In some instances, accumulated water could affect the range switch signals. If this were to occur while the vehicle is stopped and the shifter were to be moved from Park to Reverse or Drive, or the shifter is moved from Drive to Reverse or Park, it could result in one or more of the following symptoms: the incorrect gear is displayed in the instrument panel, illumination of malfunction indicator lamp(s) and/or a delay in the engagement of the selected gear. An incorrect gear being selected could cause unintended vehicle movement, which could result in injury and/or damage to property.
