The short version

General Motors LLC reported a problem with the automatic transmission gear position indication (prndl). Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

In the affected vehicles, the console transmission gear selection indicator may not illuminate the shift position selected. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 102, "Transmission Shift Position Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect."

WHY IT MATTERS

If the console shift indicator does not illuminate the transmission gear selection, a driver could inadvertently select a transmission position other than the position the driver intended, increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Take it to a dealer — they will replace the transmission gear selection control module, free of charge.
