Ford recalls certain F-150s, SUVs over risk for damage to park system

A new recall from Ford Motor Co. is affecting hundreds of thousands of pickups and SUVs over concerns about potential damage to the vehicles' parking system, and it could be months before a remedy is available.

The recall affects certain 2018-2021 Lincoln Navigator and Ford Expedition SUVs, 2020-2021 Explorer and Lincoln Aviators and 2021 F-150 pickups. The transmission park pawl may engage while the vehicle is in motion, resulting in park system damage. In that event, the transmission park feature may not be able to hold the vehicle in park, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

Ford is aware of 24 allegations of property damage and nine alleged injuries (two of which are allegations of "emotional injuries") related to this issue, according to a document under the recall.
