Recall on 2012 Chevrolet Sonic

GM Canada is recalling 3,337 Chevrolet Sonic vehicles equipped with a 1.8L engine and 6-speed automatic transmission -- all from the 2012 model year -- because the transmission turbine shaft may fracture, disabling gears 3 through 6.

If this were to occur while the transmission is in 1st or 2nd gear, the transmission would fail to upshift past 2nd gear, thus limiting the car's speed. If this were to occur while the transmission is in 3rd through 6th gear, power would be lost and the Sonic would coast until its speed was reduced to allow the transmission to downshift to 2nd gear.

Chevrolet dealers will therefore replace the transmission turbine shaft.
