2000–2001 Europa Gelaendewagen recall: powertrain & transmission

⚠️ What's wrong

Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. These vehicles were built with an incorrect labeling on the transmission shifter console.

💥 The risk

🔧 The fix

Dealers will relabel the vehicle console and place a sticker on the console warning of the need to use the parking brake. An owner's manual supplement will also be provided explaining the need to use the parking brake. Owner notification began march 21, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact europa at 1-888-538-7672.

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.)
