Kizashi Recall (Shifting out of Park issue for Automatics)
Posted: Fri Jan 02, 2015 6:37 pm
I just came across this on Autoblog.
The Kizashi is being recalled due to an issue with the automatic transmission being shifted out of Park. Obviously, manual transmission models are exempted from this recall.
This issue also affects the SX4 for those of you who also own an auto SX4.
