Ford Motor Company is recalling an estimated four 2019 Ford Super Duty trucks because a transmission casing may be missing material around the casting where the park pawl engages the transmission. With this scenario, the vehicle could potentially move while in "park," increasing the likelihood of an injury.

To fix the problem, dealers will inspect and replace transmission casing, as needed, at no cost to owners.

Ford is not aware of any unintended vehicle movement, accidents or injuries resulting from this issue.

Affected vehicles under this recall include 2019 Ford Super Duty vehicles built at Kentucky Truck Plant between Aug. 21 and 23.

Ford's reference number for this recall is 18S36.
