Ford is recalling 2020 model-year vehicles that may have an incorrectly fitted gearshift cable to the transmission.
This recall affects 55,158 vehicles in the United States and federal territories, which includes the Ranger, F-150 equipped with 10-speed automatic transmission, and Expedition vehicles with the police package and 10-speed automatic transmission.
In affected vehicles, a clip that locks the gearshift cable to the transmission may not be fully seated. Over time, a partially seated clip may allow the transmission to be in a gear state different from the gearshift position selected by the driver. This could allow the driver to move the shifter to park and remove the ignition key, without the transmission gear actually being in park. If the parking brake is not applied in those cases, the vehicle could move unintentionally, increasing the risk of injury or crash.
Affected vehicles are:
2020 Ford Ranger vehicles built at Michigan Assembly Plant from Feb. 28 to March 18, 2020
2020 Ford F-150 vehicles built at Dearborn Truck Plant from Feb. 18 to March 19, 2020, and Kansas City Assembly Plant from Feb. 21 to March 19, 2020
2020 Ford Expedition vehicles built at Kentucky Truck Plant from March 3 to 19, 2020.
Dealers will inspect the shift cable locking clip and properly seat it as needed. The Ford reference number for this recall is 20S18.
