Description

Detailed recall information for NHTSA ID 77V185000 by Ford Motor Company. Includes 19,000 affected units, POWER TRAIN:TRANSMISSION:AUTOMATIC:LEVER AND LINKA, component: POWER TRAIN, and more from the Department of Transportation.

Defect Summary

On the involved vehicles, the park actuation support plates are defective due to their susceptibility to cracking due to improper heat treatment during manufacture. As a result, fragments from a broken plate can become lodged in the transmission parking pawl mechanism. This could prevent the transmission parking pawl from engaging when the selector lever is placed in the "park" position, or prevent the pawl from being disengaged from the park gear.

Corrective Action

The dealer will replace the park actuation cam support plates, free of charge, on all affected vehicles.
