GENERAL MOTORS issued a recall on the MALIBU model

Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 102 - Transmission Control Functions. The indicator light of the PRNDM provided to identify the transmission shift position is not activated under certain circumstances when the ignition key cylinder is in a zone between the ignition ?OFF? detent and the accessory ?ACC? detent when the engine is off. This condition can occur if the vehicle operator rotates the key cylinder toward the ?OFF? detent while the engine is running and the shift lever is in a position other than ?PARK?. This will result in the key cylinder hitting a stop which prevents it from being fully turned to the ?OFF? detent position. At this key position, electrical power has been disconnected from the shift lever position indication light because the key cylinder has been rotated beyond ?ACC? detent and the electrical switch contacts have opened. If this sequence of operator actions were to occur, the shift lever position indication light would not be illuminated and the vehicle transmission would not be in ?PARK?. If this condition were present, the key cannot be removed from the vehicle because the transmission is not placed into ?PARK?. If the operator exited the vehicle in the condition described above (leaving the key in the ignition), an audible warning to the driver would activate whenever the driver's door is unlocked and opened. Correction: A production change has been undertaken to remedy the technical non-compliance. No corrective recall action is required as the technical non-compliance is deemed to be non-safety related.
