Ford is Recalling Certain Vehicles Due to Shifter Position May Incorrectly Indicate 'Park'

Shifter position may incorrectly indicate 'Park'

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 or injury.
