CarRecallWatch- Component
- POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
- Problem
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2019 Ranger vehicles equipped with 10-speed automatic transmissions. In some of these vehicles, the transmission shift lever can be moved from the "Park" position without the key in the starting system and without depressing the brake pedal. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 114, "Theft Protection."
- Risk
- If the vehicle can be shifted out of Park without the brake applied, the vehicle may unexpectedly move. Unintentional vehicle movement can increase the risk of injury or crash.
- Remedy
- Ford has notified owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the transmission floor shift selector interlock assembly, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began February 22, 2019. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 19C02.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
Some 2019 Ford Ranger trucks with 10-speed automatic transmissions have a shift lever that can be moved out of Park without the key in the starting system and without the brake pedal being pressed. This also means the vehicle does not meet federal theft protection standards.
If the truck can be shifted out of Park with the brake not applied, it may move unexpectedly, which increases the risk of injury or a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and authorized dealers will inspect and repair the transmission floor shift selector interlock assembly as needed, at no cost to you. Owners can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 with questions, and can check their VIN for open recalls.
