NHTSA recall 19V366000
Power Train · Ford Motor Company
Details
What's wrong: The fasteners that attach the transmission shifter cable bracket to the transmission may loosen allowing the transmission to be in a different gear than indicated by the gear shift lever position.
Why it matters: If the gear shift lever position does not match the actual transmission gear, the vehicle may move in an unexpected direction. Additionally, despite selecting 'park', if the parking brake is not applied before the vehicle is exited, the vehicle may roll. Either scenario increases the risk of crash…
The fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and tighten the transmission shift cable bracket fasteners as necessary, and verify the proper transmission shift operation, free of charge. The recall began July 1, 2019.
