On certain vehicles, the rear engine support bracket is composed of materials of insufficient strength. Normal vehicle vibrations may cause the bracket to crack. If the vehicle is continually operated in this condition, the bracket may break apart. In the worst case, the transmission could drop out of alignment with the driver train. Correction: Dealers will install a modified rear engine support bracket.
On certain vehicles, normal heat emanating from the exhaust pipe may cause the shift linkage installed as part of campaign 2005194 (C1003610) to bind. As a result, the effort required to operate the automatic transmission shift control lever may increase. In the worst case, the shift control lever may become inoperative, or the transmission gear position indicated on the shift lever housing may not match the actual gear selection at the transmission. Correction: Dealers will install a modified shift control lever assembly.
On certain vehicles, rust build-up on the automatic transmission shift linkage, due to an insufficient corrosion inhibiting ability, may cause the linkage the bind.

On certain vehicles, the cable end of the parking brake cable, where it attaches to the parking brake lever, is designed improperly. Repeated normal parking brake operation may cause the cable end to become improperly seated in the parking brake lever groove. In this condition, the parking brake cable may bend and/or break due to fatigue. In the worst case, the parking brake may become inoperative. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the parking brake cable assembly.
