The 1995 GMC Sierra has two recalls, both transmission-related, with the more serious being a transmission case that can leak fluid onto the exhaust system and start a fire.
The second recall involves a shift-cable lock clip that can slip out of position, causing the transmission to not fully engage Park even when the shift lever appears to be there. The Park indicator light may not illuminate in this situation, and if a driver steps away without applying the parking brake, the vehicle can roll.
