Ford recalls 2.9 million cars due to gear malfunction

Automaker, Ford is recalling an estimated 2.9 million vehicles owing to a problem with the shifter cable that might cause the vehicles to not shift into the proper gear, resulting in rollaway accidents. According to documents from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the cable can detach or deteriorate with time, causing the impacted vehicles to fail to shift into the right gear. 

Six reports of property damage and four instances of injuries have been received by the National Highway Safety Administration, according to the agency. 

Among the issues, the transmission on impacted Ford (F) automobiles and SUVs may not be in the park, despite the shifter position indicating that the vehicle had switched to park. As a result, according to the safety agency, drivers have exited a vehicle only to have it roll away, posing an increased risk of injury or crash. 

In 2016, actor Anton Yelchin died as a result of a similar situation with his 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Yelchin was pinned to a brick post in front of his Los Angeles house after his Jeep rolled down his driveway. Fortunately, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, no deaths have been reported due to this Ford recall issue. 

Model years 2013 to 2019 for the Escape, 2013-2018 for the C-Max, 2013-2016 for the Fusion, and 2013-2021 for the Transit Connect are all involved. 

Ford informed the agency that this is the company’s seventh recall over the problem since 2018. Earlier shift cable part recalls by Ford resulted in the recall of about 1.4 million vehicles worldwide. 

Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) continued to discuss field reports connected to vehicles not included in earlier recalls after an April recall linked to the same problem. 

Ford says it found 1,630 warranty reports and 233 other reports relating to this issue between April 2015 and March 2022. 

Dealers will replace the under-hood shift bushing as well as add a protective cap to solve the problem. The replacement components will be made of a different material grade. 

The second-largest manufacturer in the United States announced on Tuesday that it was recalling around 49,000 Mustang Mach-E electric vehicles because a component could overheat and cause a loss of propulsion power. To fix the problem, the automaker will upgrade the vehicle’s software. In addition, Ford has received 286 warranty claims relating to the recall in North America since July. 

With 38 recall campaigns spanning 6.6 million vehicles, Ford tops all automakers in the United States this year.
