What is wrong

GM is recalling 26 my 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.

The risk

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.

The fix

Dealers will replace the transmission free of charge. The recall began on may 5, 2008. Owners may contact saturn at 1-[removed], or through their website at <a href=[link removed] .
