Recall 12V-078: 2011 Utilimaster Aeromaster
UTILIMASTER CORPORATION recall for power train, reported to NHTSA on Feb 28, 2012, covering about 679 vehicles.
The problem
Utilimaster is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 aeromaster vehicles manufactured from march 11, 2009, through december 3, 2012. The transmission gear shifterâs cable may break at the attachment to the transmission control selector arm assembly mounted on the steering column. If the cable breaks, the transmission gear indicator in the âprndlâ display in the instrument panel will remain in the first gear position regardless of the gear selected.
The risk
An incorrect gear indication in the instrument panel may prevent the driver from knowing if they are in park or reverse, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Utilimaster will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission selector arm assembly and the transmission gear shifterâs cable assembly, free of charge. The safety recall began on march 16, 2012. Owners may contact utilimaster at 1-517-543-6400.
