- Summary
- Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. These vehicles were built with an incorrect labeling on the transmission shifter console.
- Consequence
- The improper labeling could cause a driver to park the vehicle without applying the parking brake, which could allow the vehicle to roll away and cause a crash or injury.
- Remedy
- Dealers will relabel the vehicle console and place a sticker on the console warning of the need to use the parking brake. An owner's manual supplement will also be provided explaining the need to use the parking brake. Owner notification began March 21, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact europa at 1-888-538-7672.

As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.
Has your Europa been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Europa dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
