Ford Motor Company: 2022-2023 Vehicles Recalled for Transmission Rollaway Risk

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling 1,138 vehicles, including the 2022-2023 F-150, Mustang, Explorer, Bronco, and 2023 Lincoln Aviator, because a loose bolt inside the automatic transmission can prevent the vehicle from staying in 'PARK.' Even if the gear shifter indicates the car is in 'PARK,' the transmission may not actually be engaged. Authorized dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the affected transmissions at no cost to owners.

Risk

A loose bolt within the transmission can physically block the park gear from engaging; this allows the vehicle to roll away unexpectedly while the driver believes it is secured, significantly increasing the risk of a crash or injury to bystanders.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your vehicle is affected: This recall involves 2022-2023 Ford F-150, Mustang, Explorer, and Bronco models, as well as 2023 Lincoln Aviator vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions.
  2. Contact a Ford or Lincoln dealer to schedule a free inspection of your transmission to ensure the internal bolts are properly secured and to receive a replacement transmission if a defect is found.
  3. If you have questions or need to confirm your vehicle's status, contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and reference recall number 23S06.
  4. You may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for more information.
