Defect Summary: General motors llc (gm) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 cadillac ats vehicles manufactured april 23, 2012, to march 20, 2014, and 2014 cadillac cts vehicles manufactured june 10, 2013, to march 20, 2014. in the affected vehicles, the transmission shift cable may detach from either the bracket on the transmission shifter or the bracket on the transmission.
Consequence Summary: If the transmission shift cable detaches while the vehicle is being driven, the transmission gear selection may not match the indicated gear and the vehicle may move in an unintended or unexpected direction, increasing the risk of a crash. furthermore, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, despite selecting the 'park' position, the transmission may not be in 'park.' if the vehicle is not in the 'park' position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. a vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
Corrective Action: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles to make sure the cable is properly seated at the transmission and shifter brackets, free of charge. the recall is expected to begin in early august 2014. owners may contact cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. gm's number for this recall is 14179.
