Details
What's wrong: On vehicles with 2.0L gas engines and six-speed automatic transmissions, the torque converter weld studs may have been inadequately welded.
Why it matters: If the torque converter weld studs fail, the torque converter will not be connected to the engine flexplate and the vehicle will lose the ability to move, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque converters, free of charge. The recall began on July 5, 2018.
