Over 8,700 Cadillac SRX models recalled for faulty transmission cables Car News and Review

Owners of 2010 and 2011 model year Cadillac SRX utility vehicles, lend me your ears: Your luxury crossover may be facing a recall. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, some 8,789 affected units could have an improperly fitted transmission shift cable.

According to the government agency’s notice, the faulty installation could result in the cable popping out of the transmission bracket. If that happens, NHTSA says the transmission may not shift at all, rendering the vehicle immobile. The gearbox could also seem to be in Park when it isn’t, resulting in a potential rollaway.

Cadillac will start notifying owners of vehicles covered in the recall next month, and dealers will be tasked with inspecting the cable and making sure it’s properly routed and secured. For more details, check out the official notice after the jump.
