💥 Crash riskNHTSA 00V310📅 Oct 24, 2000

2000–2001 Saturn SC & 2000–2001 Saturn SC1 + 2 more recall: powertrain & transmission

⚠️ What's wrong

Vehicle description: certain passenger vehicles, equipped with automatic transaxles, fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS no. 114, "theft protection." these vehicles were built with an improperly adjusted automatic transaxle park lock cable assembly. If improperly adjusted, it is possible to shift from the "park" position with the ignition key removed.

💥 The risk

This condition increases the risk of a crash resulting from the unintended movement of parked vehicles.

🔧 The fix

Saturn is asking owners and retailers to perform a functional check of the automatic transaxle park lock cable assembly operation, and if necessary, to have the cable adjusted. If owners are not comfortable performing the functional check themselves, they CAN have their dealer perform this inspection for them.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
