This malfunction could cause vehicles to move unexpectedly when in the park position without the parking brake applied, increasing the risk of crashes and injuries. Ford has received reports of property damage and injuries related to this issue. Owners will be notified by mail, and dealerships will upgrade the Powertrain control Module and inspect for damage at no cost. Additionally, Ford previously recalled around 119,000 vehicles from model years 2016-2018 for <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >engine block heater issues<\/a> and over 103,000 F-150 trucks for axle hub bolt problems that could lead to vehicle rolling away. Vehicle owners can check recall details on Ford\u2019s website or contact Ford or NHTSA for further assistance.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Ford is recalling more than 741,000 vehicles due to a transmission issue.<\/p>\n<p>The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a report that the recall includes some Ford F-150, Lincoln Aviator, Ford Explorer, Lincoln Navigator, and Ford Expedition vehicles with model years between 2018 and 2021, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.com\/Business\/wireStory\/ford-recalling-74100-vehicles-park-system-issue-134337363\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ABC News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The report said vehicles being recalled could \u201cexperience temporary engagement of their transmission parking pawl while the vehicle is in motion when certain shifts are commanded by the transmission, potentially damaging <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-york-state-assembly-moves-to-rename-donald-j-trump-state-park\/\" title=\"New York State Assembly Moves To Rename Donald J.
