Reference: NHTSA campaign number: 10v200000 while driving, if the vehicle goes over a bump in the road the key fob may fall out of the ignition module. While stationary, the key may be removed from the ignition switch (win module) prior to placing the shifter in park. This could result in the potential for unintended vehicle movement and could increase the risk of a crash.
