Ford Motor Co. is recalling 2018 model pickup trucks and large SUVs in North America to repair a loose cable that could allow the transmission to be in a different gear than the one selected by the driver.
Ford says a clip that secures the shift cable to the gearbox could detach. If so, the vehicle could end up in Neutral when the driver shifts to Park, thereby allowing the truck to roll away unexpectedly. If the condition develops, there would be no warning chime or dashboard light to indicate the transmission wasn’t locked as intended.
Ford says 84% of the affected trucks are in the U.S. and its territories. Another 51,700 units are in Canada, and 2,800 are in Mexico.
