The problem
On certain pickup trucks, sport utility and passenger vehicles equipped with 42rle automatic transmissions, the cup plug that retains the park pawl anchor shaft May be improperly installed. If the shaft moves out of position, the vehicle May not be able to achieve 'park' position.
The risk
If this occurs and the parking brake is not applied, the vehicle May roll away and cause a crash without warning.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the transmissions and install a bracket to ensure the park pawl anchor shaft is retained in the proper position. The recall began on November 28, 2005. Owners May contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
