Ford Recalls 2017-2018 Vehicles for Missing Transmission Roll Pin

Ford is recalling 2017-2018 F-150, Expedition, Mustang, and Navigator vehicles because a missing transmission roll pin may cause the vehicle to roll away from Park.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (missing transmission roll pin) that can cause the vehicle to roll away, increasing the risk of injury or a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury reports.

Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2017-2018 Ford F-150, 2018 Ford Expedition, 2018 Ford Mustang, and 2018 Lincoln Navigator vehicles equipped with 10-speed automatic transmissions. The recall addresses a defect where a roll pin may not have been installed in the transmission, potentially causing a loss of the "Park" function.

Despite the transmission shift lever being placed in 'Park' and the instrument panel display indicating 'Park,' the vehicle may roll away after it has been exited if the parking brake has not been applied. This condition increases the risk of injury or a crash.

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the transmission to make sure it has the roll pin, installing one if it is missing, free of charge. The recall began on April 13, 2018. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
