Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 102 - Transmission Shift Control Sequence. A retaining clip which secures the manual valve to the linkage of the transmission detent lever, may become loose and allow the link to become disconnected from the manual valve. If the link disconnects, the driver's indicated 'PRNDL' state may differ from the hydraulic state of the transmission. This does not affect the 'PARK' position, but if a driver selects 'DRIVE' and the transmission is actually in 'REVERSE', a crash could occur without warning. Correction: Dealers will replace the manual valve/link assembly with a replacement manual valve/link kit, featuring a spring-type fastener.
