Independent - Ford is initiating a
recall of over 741,000 vehicles across the U.S. due to a critical transmission
defect that could compromise the park system, significantly elevating the risk
of a crash or injury.
The
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has detailed
that the recall encompasses specific Ford
F-150, Lincoln Aviator, Ford Explorer, Lincoln Navigator, and Ford
Expedition models manufactured between 2018 and 2021.
According to the report, affected vehicles may experience
the temporary engagement of their transmission parking pawl while in motion,
particularly when certain shifts are commanded. This can lead to damage to
components of the park system. Should this damage occur, the transmission's
ability to securely hold the vehicle when in "park" – especially if
the parking brake is not engaged – could be impaired. This potential for
unintended movement poses a serious safety hazard.
