        Ford Recalls 350,000 Trucks, SUVs and Mustangs

        Automaker issues two recalls for transmission problems.

        The 2018 Ford F-150 is subject to a recall due to a problem that results in the truck being in a different gear than the driver selected.

        Ford announced it is recalling more than 350,000 F-Series trucks and Expeditions in the U.S., Canada and Mexico due to a potentially unseated transmission gear shift cable clip, which cause the vehicle to be in a different gear than is shown.

        The action covers the 2018 F-150 pickup and Expedition large SUV with 10-speed automatic transmissions as well as 2018 F-650 and F-750 trucks with six-speed transmissions.

        Safety News!

        The problem stems from a clip that locks the gear shift cable to the transmission that may not be fully seated. The partially seated clip or a clip that becomes dislodged may allow the transmission to be in a gear that is different from the gear shift position selected by the driver, the automaker says.

        “This could allow the driver to move the shifter to park and remove the ignition key, while the transmission gear may not be in park, with no instrument panel warning message or warning chime when the driver’s door is opened that indicates the vehicle is not secured in park. If the parking brake is not applied, this could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of injury or crash,” Ford said.

        The Expedition is part of the recall of more than 350,000 trucks, SUVs and Mustangs.

        Ford knows of one crash and one injury due to the problem. Dealers will make sure the clip was installed correctly and secure it if needed.

        Affected vehicles include:

        • 2018 Ford F-150 vehicles built at Dearborn Assembly Plant, Jan. 5, 2017 to Feb. 16, 2018
        • 2018 Ford F-150 vehicles built at Kansas City Assembly Plant, Jan. 25, 2017 to Feb. 16, 2018
        • 2018 Ford Expedition vehicles built at Kentucky Truck Plant, April 3, 2017 to Jan. 30, 2018
        • 2018 Ford F-650 and F-750 vehicles built at Ohio Assembly Plant, April 25, 2017 to March 9, 2018

        The recall involves approximately 347,425 vehicles in North America, with 292,909 in the United States and federalized territories, 51,742 in Canada and 2,774 in Mexico. The Ford reference number for this recall is 18S10.

        Additionally, Ford recalled 161 2017-18 Ford F-150 and 2018 Ford Expedition, 2018 Lincoln Navigator and 2018 Ford Mustang vehicles with 10R80 transmissions for a potentially missing roll pin that attaches the park pawl rod guide cup to the transmission case.

        If the pin is missing, the transmission could lose the “park function even when the shifter and instrument panel display indicate the vehicle is in park,” Ford noted.

        This condition would allow the ignition key to be removed, with no instrument panel warning message or warning chime when the driver’s door is opened that indicates the vehicle is not secured in park. If the parking brake is not applied, this could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of injury or crash.

        Ford is not aware of any reports of accidents or injuries related to this condition.

          How the hell do you “miss” a roll pin?

            Perhaps we could place the blame on…
            Out of stock on the line… O’well pass it down the line!
