Ford Recalls 2020 Ranger, Expedition, F-150

Ford Expedition

Ford has issued a safety recall for 2020 F-150 and 2020 Ford Ranger vehicles with 10-speed automatic transmission.

Moreover, 2020 Expedition vehicles with the police package and 10-speed automatic transmission are also included in the list of recalled models.

According to Ford, these vehicles have clips that lock the gearshift cable to the transmission may not be fully seated. Over time, this partially seated clip can allow the transmission to be in a gear state that differs from the driver's intended gearshift position.

When this happens, the gears may not work properly. For instance, the driver might shift the gear to "Park", remove the ignition key, and go out of the car, but the transmission remains in neutral. If the vehicle is parked in a sloped area, then the vehicle can move unintentionally and increase the risk of injury or crash.

So far, Ford hasn't received any reports of accident or injuries related to this condition.

Ford reported that this defect affects 55,158 vehicles in the United States and federal territories. Meanwhile, there are 12,090 vehicles in Canada and 681 in Mexico that are also suffering from this malfunction.
