Ford Motor Company is recalling 192,080 model year 2013-2021 Transit Connect vehicles with 2.5L engines.
The bushing that attaches the shifter cable to the transmission may degrade or detach.
A damaged or missing bushing may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear, causing the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction.
Additionally, the vehicle may roll after the driver selects the 'Park' position. Either condition increases the risk of a crash or injury.
What to do
Dealers will replace the underhood shifter cable bushing and add a protective cap free of charge.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed June 28, 2021.
Owners may contact Ford customer service at (866) 436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 21S24.
