General Motors has decided that certain 2013 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles fail to conform to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for “Transmission Shift Position Sequence”. According to reports filed with the NHTSA, the transmission display module flash memory could become corrupted during momentary fluctuations in voltage. The transmission gear selection indicator may not illuminate the shift position and drivers could inadvertently select a gear other than what was intended, increasing the risk of an accident.

Owners will be asked to return to their dealers to have the transmission gear selection control module replaced. For more information about the problem, owners can contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM’s number for this recall is 12162 and the NHTSA campaign number is 15V-2450.
