    Gear Shift Module Moisture Ingress

    Defect

Non-illumination of the LED gear indicator adjacent to the shifter would not conform to regulated requirements for automatic transmission control position indicator illumination.

    Remedy

    Affected vehicles will have the Gear Shift Module replaced.
