The vehicles may have been built with a fractured park lock cable or a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    As a result, the vehicle may shift from Park with the ignition key removed or the ignition key in the OFF position. The vehicle may also shift out of Park without application of the brake pedal while the key is off. Either of these scenarios may cause the vehicle to roll away after the driver has exited the vehicle, resulting in a possible vehicle crash and/or injury.
