June 19, 2014 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V338000
Transmission Shift Cable Detachment/Rollaway Risk
If the transmission shift cable detaches while the vehicle is being driven, the transmission gear selection may not match the indicated gear and the vehicle may move in an unintended or unexpected direction, increasing the risk of a crash. Furthermore, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, despite selecting the ‘PARK’ position, the transmission may not be in ‘PARK.’ If the vehicle is not in the ‘PARK’ position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V338
Manufacturer General Motors LLC
Components POWER TRAIN
Potential Number of Units Affected 90,750
Summary
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Cadillac ATS vehicles manufactured April 23, 2012, to March 20, 2014, and 2014 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured June 10, 2013, to March 20, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the transmission shift cable may detach from either the bracket on the transmission shifter or the bracket on the transmission.
Remedy
GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles to make sure the cable is properly seated at the transmission and shifter brackets, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in early August 2014. Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. GM’s number for this recall is 14179.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Check if your Vehicle has a Recall
CONDITION
General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2013-2014 model year (MY) Cadillac ATS and 2014 MY Cadillac CTS vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission (RPO MYA or MGG). These vehicles may have a transmission shift cable that is not fully seated on the shifter and/or transmission bracket. This cable may detach from either bracket and the driver may not be able to select a different gear or place the transmission in Park. If the driver cannot place the vehicle in Park, and exits the vehicle without applying the park brake, the vehicle could roll away and a crash could occur without prior
warning.
CORRECTION
Dealers are to inspect and ensure the cable connection is fully seated at the transmission, and remove the center console trim to inspect and ensure the cable connection is fully seated at the shifter bracket.
