Recall 23V-070: 2022–2023 Ford Bronco, 2022–2023 Ford Explorer and 3 more
Ford Motor Company recall for power train, reported to NHTSA on Feb 10, 2023, covering about 1,138 vehicles.
The problem
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2023 F-150, Mustang, Explorer, Bronco, and 2023 Lincoln Aviator vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. The transmission may contain a loose bolt which could prevent the transmission from engaging the park gear, although the gear shifter position may indicate that the vehicle has been shifted to "PARK."
The risk
The inability to secure the vehicle in the park position can result in a rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the transmissions, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 25, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 23S06.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
