Key Points:
- Ford is recalling over 741,000 vehicles in the U.S., including certain 2018-2021 Ford F-150, Lincoln Aviator, Ford Explorer, Lincoln Navigator, and Ford Expedition models, due to a transmission issue that may damage the park system and increase crash risk.
- The problem involves temporary engagement of the transmission parking pawl while the vehicle is in motion, which can damage park system components and potentially cause unintended vehicle movement when in "park."
- Ford is aware of 24 property damage reports and nine injury allegations, including two emotional injury claims, related to this transmission issue.
- Affected vehicle owners will be notified by mail to bring their vehicles to dealers for a free Powertrain Control Module software update and inspection or replacement of any damaged transmission parts.
- Customers seeking more information can contact Ford customer service or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline.
