Defect Summary: On certain passenger vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, the transmission shift cable connects the gearshift lever in the vehicle interior to the shift linkage on the transmission. it is possible for the shift cable to detach from the transmission shift linkage while the driver is attempting to change gears. if the cable detaches from the shift linkage, gear changes will no longer be possible and the transmission will remain in the last gear selected.

Consequence Summary: If shift cable detachment occurs and the transmission remains in any forward gear, the vehicle can still be driven in that gear only. however, if the transmission moves into neutral and remains there, the ability to accelerate or maintain speed will be lost, increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action: Dealers will inspect the shift cable and, if necessary, install a retaining clip over the end of the shift cable to prevent it from detaching from the transmission. owner notification began august 6, 2002. 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 bmw at 1-866-ask-mini (1-866-275-6464).
