Ford Recalls 741,195 F-150s and SUVs Over Park System Damage Risk

Summary
741,195 Ford and Lincoln vehicles are being recalled after a transmission park pawl could engage while the vehicle is moving, damaging the park system and raising crash or rollaway risk.
Affected models include 2018-2021 Expedition and Navigator, 2020-2021 Explorer and Aviator, and 2021 F-150 pickups; Ford has logged 24 property-damage allegations and nine injury allegations tied to the defect.
Dealers will update powertrain control module software and inspect or replace damaged transmission parts at no charge, but owner warning letters are not due until Aug. 3 and a full remedy is expected in April 2027.
The recall lands days after Ford touted a No. 1 JD Power initial-quality ranking, even as warranty costs and frequent recalls have continued to weigh on the automaker.
