Unexpected vehicle movement such as a vehicle rollaway can increase the risk of a crash.

 

Summary

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty trucks equipped with 6.2L engines and six-speed automatic transmissions.

These transmissions may have a damaged park rod actuating plate that can result in unexpected vehicle movement even though the transmission has been shifted to ‘Park.’

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 102, “Transmission Shift Lever Sequence/Starter Interlock/Transmission Braking Effect”, and number 114, “Theft Protection.”

 

Remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the park rod actuating plate and replace it, if necessary, free of charge.

Remedy parts are currently unavailable. Interim notices informing owners of the safety risk were mailed on April 18, 2017.

Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available.

Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford’s number for this recall is 17C06.

 

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.

SUBJECT: NEW VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION / DELIVERY HOLD – Compliance Recall 17C06

Transmission Park Rod Actuating Plate

 

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Vehicle Model Year Assembly Plant Build Dates
F-250 2017 Kentucky Truck October 9, 2015 through March 31, 2017

 

Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.

 

REASON FOR THIS COMPLIANCE RECALL

Some of the affected vehicles may not conform to the requirements specified by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 102 Transmission Shift Position Sequence, Starter Interlock and Transmission Braking Effect, and FMVSS No. 114 Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention.  Vehicles built with a damaged park rod actuating plate may not achieve mechanical Park within the automatic transmission after the driver moves the shift lever to Park.  If the parking brake is not applied, this could result in unintended vehicle movement without warning, increasing the risk of injury or crash.

 

SERVICE ACTION

Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to replace the transmission park rod actuating plate.  This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.  Important Note:  Until the repair is made, dealers should ensure the vehicle’s parking brake is applied whenever the transmission shift lever is in the Park position.

 

OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE

Owners were notified the week of April 10, 2017, advising drivers to apply the parking brake when the vehicle is left unattended.  Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of June 5, 2017 to notify that parts are available to repair vehicles.  Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.

PLEASE NOTE:

Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee.  Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $21,000 per vehicle.  Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.
