FCA instructs affected owners to bring their Fiat 500 to the dealership, where a technician will replace the shifter cable adjuster free of charge.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

According to FCA, in the event that the shifter cable detaches from the transmission due to a bushing that has deteriorated over time, it’s possible for the transmission to not shift into the gear selected by the driver.driv<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the owner puts the car in Drive, for example, the car might be in another gear instead. Another possible scenario is when the driver puts the car in Park, there is a chance the car would be in a different gear, causing the car to roll away. This increases the risk of crashing and injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The automaker said in a statement it is aware of three “minor accidents” that may be related to the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drivers are likely to notice some sort of resistance when using the gear selector, but it may not actually be in the desired gear. If this happens, the instrument cluster will work as a backup and show the correct gear if the shift cable gets detached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FCA instructs affected owners to bring their cars to the dealership, where a technician will replace the shifter cable adjuster free of charge. Owners may expect to receive the recall notifications from the company beginning January 4.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
