POWERTRAIN

Defect

On certain vehicles, the transmission case bolt which allows service access to disconnect the differential from the transmission could loosen and fall out. If the bolt falls out, the extension shaft could disengage from the differential, disconnecting the drive train between the transmission and the differential. This could cause the vehicle to lose power to the drive wheels without warning. Also, shifting to the PARK position would not lock the wheels, and a parked vehicle could move unexpectedly if the parking brake is not set.

Safety Risk

No risk description available.

Remedy

An updated transmission case bolt (with an o-ring instead of thread lock/sealer) will be installed on affected vehicles.
