2004 Cadillac SRX recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
GM is recalling 17,301 my 2004 cadillac SRX vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which the transmission shift lever CAN be moved from the "park" position with the ignition "on" and without the operator depressing the brake pedal or, in some cases, the shifter CAN be moved from the "park" position with the ignition turned off.
💥 The risk
If the vehicle is parked or parked on a slope, this condition could allow the vehicle to roll increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will replace the pawl stopper and a bushing within the shifter assembly free of charge. The recall began on december 3, 2008. Owners may contact cadillac at 1-800-982-2339 or through their website at http://www.gmownercenter.com .
