Details

What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the push-to start/stop (pts) button that is located at the bottom of the shift transmission controls may inadvertently be pushed, causing the engine to shut off.

Why it matters: If the pts switch is inadvertently pressed, the vehicle may stop unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash. In the event of a crash with the vehicle turned off, the air bags and seat belt restaints may not function as intended, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the pts switch and reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM), free of charge. The recall began March 3, 2015.
