2013 Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC SUVs and Pickups Recalled

The 2013 model year vehicles affected by the recall are the Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Avalanche, Chevrolet Express, Chevrolet Silverado, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Savana, GMC Sierra and GMC Yukon. These may have been built with a defective park lock cable or steering column lock actuator gear, which may cause them to roll away down a hill. That’s because they might jump from park even without the key in the ignition and without pressing the brake pedal.

“Either of these scenarios may cause the vehicle to roll away after the driver has exited the vehicle, resulting in a possible vehicle crash and/or injury," GM said in a filing with the NHTSA.
