What this recall means for you
Certain 2016 hybrid-electric vehicles built between June 7, 2015 and September 11, 2015 have a gear shift lever that may break. When the lever breaks, the car may not stay in the gear it was set to, and the vehicle may become immobilized.
An immobilized vehicle increases the risk of a crash. If you own an affected vehicle, contact the manufacturer or an authorized dealer as soon as possible. The manufacturer has already notified the registered purchaser, and the replacement of the gear shift lever with a newly designed part is free of charge.
You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls on the NHTSA website to confirm whether your car is affected and whether any other recalls apply.
