What's wrong, in plain English
On affected vehicles, the right-front half-shaft — part of what sends power from the engine to the wheel — may not be properly connected to the transmission. This can cause the half-shaft to separate. If that happens, the vehicle can lose the power that drives it forward, or the vehicle could roll away on its own after being put in park.
What you should do
2. Contact a Cadillac dealer (1-800-458-8006) or GMC dealer (1-800-462-8782) to schedule the repair.
