1998 FORD B SERIESTransport Canada Recall #1997119
Defect
On certain B700 vehicles, the welds that attach the key to the top of the shift tube may not adequately retain the key, allowing the transmission to be in a gear other than indicated on the PRNDL, or in some cases RNDL. This could result in vehicle roll away when parked or the vehicle proceeding in an unintended direction when the accelerator is pressed.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Steering column shift tube will be replaced and, if required, the park brake linkage will be adjusted.
