The short version

General Motors LLC reported a problem with the power train automatic transmission. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

In the affected vehicles, the transmission turbine shaft may fracture.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the transmission turbine shaft fracture occurs during vehicle operation in first or second gear, the vehicle will not upshift to the third through sixth gears, limiting the vehicle's speed. If the fracture occurs during operation in third through sixth gear, the vehicle will coast until it slows enough to downshift to first or second gear, increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission turbine shaft, free of charge.
