Description

Detailed recall information for NHTSA ID 78V096000 by Ford Motor Company. Includes 61,417 affected units, POWER TRAIN:TRANSMISSION:AUTOMATIC, component: POWER TRAIN, and more from the Department of Transportation.

Defect Summary

Some of these vehicles may be equipped with automatic transmissions that were assembled with improperly manufactured cast iron extension housings. The housings have mislocated cast cam plate stops. A mislocated stop may prevent the transmission from locking in the park position when the gear shift selector lever is placed in the "p" (park) position. If this occurs a driver may rely upon the reading on the gearshift selector lever indicator and may assume that the transmission parking gear is engaged.

Corrective Action

Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the transmission extension housing without charge to owner.
