Vehicles Affected: Approximately 100 model-year 2017 Toyota 86 sports coupes
The Problem: Connectors for the automatic transmission key interlock may not have been connected during pre-delivery service prior to being sold. Left unconnected, it’s possible to remove the key in gear positions other than Park, increasing the risk of a rollaway and a crash. Toyota said that models with a key fob and ignition button are not affected.
The Fix: Dealers will confirm the ignition key interlock function and connect the delivery mode connector, if necessary, for free.
What Owners Should Do: Toyota will begin notifying owners in January. Owners can call the automaker at 800-331-4331 for more info.

I joined the automotive industry in 2016 as a lifelong car enthusiast and have achieved the rare feat of applying my journalism and media arts degrees as a writer, fact-checker, proofreader and editor my entire professional career, which has somehow been more than a decade solely at Cars.com and currently as Chief Copy Editor. I live by an in-house version of the AP stylebook and know where the semicolons can go, which you can occasionally find updated proof of in the stories
