Issue
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the transmission shift cable may detach. This could cause the transmission not to shift gears when the shifter is moved. As a result, the transmission could be in a different gear than the gear shifter indicates. If a driver attempts to exit the vehicle while the transmission is not in Park, and the parking brake is not applied, it could move suddenly.
Safety Risk:
Sudden and unexpected movement of the vehicle could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to inspect the shift cable locking clip. It will be re-seated if necessary. Ford advises that you should apply the parking brake each time the vehicle is parked, until the recall repairs being completed.
