2003 Suzuki Aerio

On certain vehicles, the retaining clip that secures the gear shift cable to the shift lever can contact the lever housing if excessive lateral force is applied when shifting to first gear. Repeated shifting in this manner can eventually cause the retaining clip to break. Should this happen, the shift cable can become disconnected from the lever, resulting in loss of the ability to change transmission gears. This can result in a crash without prior warning. Correction: Dealers will replace the gear shift cable retaining clip with a clip that has a different shape.
