What this recall means for you
A casting defect in the automatic transmission case on certain 2019 Ford F-250, F-350 and F-450 Super Duty trucks may prevent the park pawl assembly from being properly secured. If that happens, the truck can move unintentionally even when it is in park.
Unintended vehicle movement increases the risk of a crash. Owners should be careful when parking, especially on slopes, and should not rely solely on the park position to keep the vehicle still.
