One recall was to improve the tactile feel of shifting into Park to satisfy the complaints of folks having trouble doing so. It was the nylon button stem that was replaced.
The cable that actuates the shifter Park interlock release goes between the steering column key cylinder and the floor shifter and as long as the cable isn't binding, it can be adjusted.
Later electrical shift interlocks (that may have been another recall) required that your foot was on the brake before releasing the shifter out of Park for added safety. There is a brake switch-actuated solenoid in-line with the cable that 'clicks' when releasing the shifter. That cable is also adjustable.
