A vehicle recall is a notification from a manufacturer to owners of a vehicle regarding a defect that may affect safety or performance. Owners are typically advised to bring their vehicles in for repairs at no cost.
A shifter cable defect refers to a malfunction in the cable that connects the gear shift lever to the transmission, which can prevent the vehicle from properly engaging the park function, leading to potential rollaway incidents.
The park function in vehicles is a mechanism that locks the transmission when the vehicle is in 'Park' mode, preventing it from rolling away. It is crucial for safety when the vehicle is stationary.
