Recall on Ford Vehicles

Ford is recalling over 2.9 million vehicles in the U.S. to fix a transmission problem that can increase the risk of inadvertent rollaway crashes.

According to KARK News, the recall covers certain 2013 to 2019 Escape, 2013 to 2018 C-Max, 2013 to 2016 Fusion, 2013 to 2021 Transit Connect, and 2015 to 2018 Edge vehicles. 

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says in documents posted Wednesday that a bushing that attaches the shifter cable to the transmission can degrade or detach. That can stop the vehicles from shifting into the intended gear.  A vehicle shifted into Park gear might be in a different gear, allowing it to roll away. 

Dealers will replace the bushing and add a protective cap. Owners will be notified by letter starting June 27.
