Utilimaster recall: Power train

What is wrong

Utilimaster is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 aeromaster vehicles manufactured from march 11, 2009, through december 3, 2012. The transmission gear shifterâ’s cable may break at the attachment to the transmission control selector arm assembly mounted on the steering column. If the cable breaks, the transmission gear indicator in the â‘prndl⒠display in the instrument panel will remain in the first gear position regardless of the gear selected.

What could happen

An incorrect gear indication in the instrument panel may prevent the driver from knowing if they are in park or reverse, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Utilimaster will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission selector arm assembly and the transmission gear shifterâ’s cable assembly, free of charge. The safety recall began on march 16, 2012. Owners may contact utilimaster at 1-517-543-6400.
