THE INVOLVED VEHICLES WERE FITTED WITH TILT STEERING COLUMNS CONTAINING TRANSMISSION CONTROL INSERTS INTENDED FOR TRUCKS RATHER THAN PASSENGER VEHICLES. THIS MAY CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION SELECTOR POINTER TO BE MISALIGNED AND THE POSSIBILITY OF STARTING THE ENGINE WHEN THE SELECTOR IS BETWEEN THE NEUTRAL (N) AND DRIVE (D) DETENTS AND THE TRANSMISSION IS IN DRIVE. Remedy: DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CONTROL INSERT, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
We checked Transport Canada's recall database for this make, model and year.

VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH TILT STEERING COLUMNS. SOME TILT STEERING COLUMNS CONTAIN TRANSMISSION CONTROL INSERTS (GEAR SELECTOR POINTERS) THAT WERE INTENDED FOR USE IN 1978 MODEL TRUCKS. USE OF THESE INSERTS COULD ALLOW THE ENGINE TO BE STARTED WITH THE SHIFT SELECTOR POSITIONED BETWEEN NEUTRAL (N) AND DRIVE (D) AND THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF STARTING THE VEHICLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR A FRONTAL COLLISION.
