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

What this recall means for you
A roll pin may be missing from the 10-speed automatic transmission, which can cause the vehicle to lose its Park function. Even with the shift lever in Park and the dashboard showing Park, the vehicle may roll away after the driver exits if the parking brake has not been applied.
This increases the risk of injury to people near the vehicle and the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect the transmission to confirm the roll pin is present and install one if it is missing, at no cost to owners. Ford will notify owners directly. You can also contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 (Ford recall number 18S09) and check your VIN for any open recalls.
