Ford Transmission Park Issue Recall

Ford announced a safety recall affecting hundreds of thousands of vehicles due to a transmission issue that may prevent proper Park engagement, creating a potential rollaway risk. Ford owners in Warner Robins, Macon, Byron, and surrounding areas should verify their vehicle’s recall status.

Five Star Ford Warner Robins can help confirm eligibility and complete any necessary repairs.

What Is the Ford Transmission Park Issue?

The Ford Transmission Park Issue Recall involves a potential defect in the transmission’s park mechanism that may prevent affected vehicles from fully engaging Park, even when the gear selector shows the vehicle is in Park. This issue may be caused by a damaged or disconnected linkage cable, which can prevent the transmission from properly locking the wheels and create a rollaway risk.

This is a safety-related recall, not normal wear and tear. Affected vehicles may move unexpectedly, especially if parked on an incline, unless the parking brake is applied. Ford owners should verify their recall status and complete any required repairs promptly to help prevent potential accidents or property damage.

Which Ford Vehicles Are Affected?

The Ford Transmission Park Issue Recall applies to several Ford trucks and SUVs, as well as select Lincoln models. The recall includes:

• Ford F-150
• Ford Expedition
• Ford Explorer
• Lincoln Navigator

Eligibility depends on specific model years, production dates, and the vehicle identification number (VIN). Ford’s recall covers hundreds of thousands of vehicles from recent production years, but not every vehicle of these models is affected. Owners should never assume their vehicle is safe or included based solely on model or year—always verify using your VIN for certainty.
