What are the defects?
Throughout the manufacturing process of the ignition switch, the ignition switch interlock lever may have been contaminated with foreign matter. If the interlock lever is contaminated, the possibility of the ignition key being removed from the ignition switch when the selector lever is not in the Park position exists. As a result, there is a potential the vehicle may move without warning if the handbrake is not applied.
