The short version

Forest River, Inc. reported a problem with the automatic transmission gear position indication (prndl). Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The gear shift cable clip may not be properly seated, allowing the transmission to be in a different gear than indicated by the gear shift lever position.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the gear shift cable clip becomes unseated or dislodged, the gear shift lever position may indicate that the transmission is in 'Park' when it may be in a different gear. Additionally, despite selecting 'Park', if the parking brake is not applied before the vehicle is exited, the vehicle may roll.

WHAT TO DO

Take it to a dealer — they will inspect the shift cable locking clip and properly seat it, if necessary, free of charge.
