Recall 08V200000: A/T Replacement

MAKE/MODELS: MODEL/BUILD YEARS:

Saturn/VUE 2008

MANUFACTURER: General Motors Corp.

MFR'S REPORT DATE : May 05, 2008

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 08V200000

NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: N/A

COMPONENT: POWER TRAIN: Automatic Transmission

POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 26

SUMMARY:
GM is recalling 26 M/Y 2008 Saturn VUE vehicles equipped with a 6T70 6-speed automatic transmission. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which the transmission case side bore that holds the park pawl pivot pin may have a casting porosity. This condition, coupled with normal operating stresses, could lead to failure, eliminating the ability to secure the transmission in 'park' position.

CONSEQUENCE:
If this happens while the vehicle is parked on a non-level surface, the vehicle could roll without warning and cause injury to people in its path.
REMEDY:
Dealers will replace the transmission free of charge. The recall began on May 5, 2008. Owners may contact Saturn at 1-800-972-8876.
