NHTSA recall 18V141000

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with mechanical key ignition systems. The keys for these vehicles may be able to be removed from the ignition when transmission is not in the park position. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 114, "theft protection."

Why it matters: If the key is removed from the ignition while the vehicle is not in the park position and the parking brake is not applied, the vehicle may roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the shifter assembly, free of charge. The recall began May 11, 2018.
