General Motors has issued a recall on 6,310 GMC, Chevrolet and Cadillac pickup trucks and SUVs from the 2013 model year (see table below) due to a fractured park lock cable or defective steering lock module that may have been installed at the assembly plant.

This could allow the driver to shift out of PARK with the key in the OFF position or removed from the ignition. Also, the transmission may be shifted out of PARK without first depressing the brake pedal. In other cases, the key may be turned to the OFF position and removed while the shifter is not in PARK.

Since these issues could result in unintended vehicle movement and possibly a crash, GM dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering column assembly on all affected vehicles.
