    Wow! Jaws of Life couldn't have uncanned that poor soul!

    I'm still confused about this recall. I thought it was the transmission that shifts on its own but the notice says its the NV245 transfer case. The TC does have a Neutral position for towing and is electrically actuated so I guess that there is no way the 'cracks' could cause it to shift into Drive.

    .
    “ …experience a transfer case actuator encoder electrical failure that results in unintentional transfer case shifting into or through the neutral position, which may result in vehicle rollaway…"


    Ok, so the way I was seeing this as our transfer cases have 3 “positions” Hi, Low and Neutral.

    For me to select neutral I have to :

    1. Key ON, engine off.
    2. Vehicle stopped, with foot on brake.
    3. Place the transmission into NEUTRAL.
    4. Hold down the NEUTRAL “pin” switch (with a pen,
    etc.) for four seconds until the LED light by the switch
    starts to blink indicating shift in progress. The light will
    stop blinking (stay on solid) when the NEUTRAL shift is
    complete.A“4WD SYSTEM IN NEUTRAL” message will display

    “ This range disengages both the front and rear driveshafts
    from the powertrain. “

    The way I understood it, the “crack”, bypassed all the steps we have to perform to get the transfer case into neutral.

    Is that the way you see it ???

    basicly that is how I see it. I am guessing that mode is there for a flat tow.

    Yes , I remember the " flat tow " capability in case of emergency advertised.

    But Wow... it can be mind boggling to think that perhaps one stray intermittent " tron " could do all the electronic and mechanical things the operator has to do to get the same result ( if thats whats going on ).
