If you happen to own a 2018 Ford F-150 or Expedition with a 10-speed auto, or a F-650 and F-750 with a six-speed auto, then you may want to contact the automaker, as there’s a recall involving your vehicle.
According to Ford the “clip that locks the gearshift cable to the transmission may not be fully seated”, so the gear state selected by the driver might actually be in a different position.
Users could also think that they have shifted into ‘park’, when it’s actually in gear, and would be able to remove the ignition key without getting a warning chime. This is a concern because if the parking brake is not applied, then the vehicle could rollaway, increasing the risk of injury or crash.
Ford hasn’t announced when owners will be notified, but they have advised dealers to “inspect and verify that the shift cable locking clip was properly installed”, and to adjust it and secure the locking clip where it needs to be done.
