Defect Summary:
Certain sport utility vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 114, 'Theft Protection.' an ignition key park lock cable end fitting was not fully seated on the automatic transmission shifter nail head during installation.
Consequence Summary:
This can prevent the cable auto-set from correctly adjusting the cable. An incorrectly adjusted cable prevents the shifter from locking in the 'park' position when the key is removed from the key cylinder.
