SUBJECT: NEW VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION / DELIVERY HOLD – Advance Notice – Safety Recall 20S18
Certain 2020 Model Year Ranger, F-150 and Police Expedition Vehicles Equipped with a 10R80 Automatic Transmission –
Transmission Selector Lever Cable Inspection
AFFECTED VEHICLES
| Vehicle | Model Year | Assembly Plant | Build Dates |
| Ranger | 2020 | Michigan | February 28, 2020 through March 18, 2020 |
| F-150 | Dearborn | February 17, 2020 through March 18, 2020 | |
| Kansas City | February 17, 2020 through March 22, 2020 | ||
| Expedition | Kentucky | March 3, 2020 through March 19, 2020 |
Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
In some of the affected vehicles, the transmission selector lever cable adjuster locking clip may not be seated properly. This could allow the transmission to be in a gear state different than the gear shift position selected by the driver and may result in the vehicle moving in an unintended direction. This condition could also allow the driver to move the shift lever to Park and remove the ignition key with the transmission gear not in Park. Ranger vehicles that exhibit this condition may display an instrument panel warning message and a warning chime when the driver’s door is opened indicating the vehicle is not secured in Park, while allowing the key to be removed. If the parking brake is not applied, these conditions could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of accident or injury.
The parking brake should be applied whenever the vehicle is parked prior to the vehicle repair.
SERVICE ACTION
DO NOT DEMONSTRATE OR DELIVER any new in-stock vehicles involved in this safety recall. A complete Dealer Bulletin will be provided to dealers the week of April 6, 2020 when it is anticipated that parts ordering information and repair instructions will be available to support this safety recall.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
Owners of record will be notified via first-class mail after repair instructions and parts ordering information have been provided to dealers.
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 prior to delivery.
QUESTIONS & ASSISTANCE
For questions and assistance, contact the Special Service Support Center (SSSC) via the SSSC Web Contact Site. The SSSC Web Contact Site can be accessed through the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website using the SSSC link listed at the bottom of the OASIS VIN report screen or listed under the SSSC tab.

FORD MOTOR COMPANY ISSUES SAFETY RECALL FOR SELECT 2020 FORD RANGER, F-150 AND EXPEDITION VEHICLES
Apr 7, 2020 | DEARBORN, Mich.
DEARBORN, Mich., April 7, 2020 – Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for select 2020 vehicles. They include 2020 Ford Ranger and 2020 F-150 vehicles with 10-speed automatic transmission and 2020 Expedition vehicles with the police package and 10-speed automatic transmission. Units equipped with a rotary gearshift dial are not affected.
In affected vehicles, a clip that locks the gearshift cable to the transmission may not be fully seated. Over time, a partially seated clip may allow the transmission to be in a gear state different from the gearshift position selected by the driver. This could allow the driver to move the shifter to Park and remove the ignition key, without the transmission gear actually being in Park. If the parking brake is not applied in those cases, the vehicle could move unintentionally, increasing the risk of injury or crash.
Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.
This action affects 55,158 vehicles in the United States and federal territories, 12,090 in Canada and 681 in Mexico.
Affected vehicles include:
- 2020 Ford Ranger vehicles built at Michigan Assembly Plant from Feb. 28 to March 18, 2020
- 2020 Ford F-150 vehicles built at Dearborn Truck Plant from Feb. 18 to March 19, 2020, and Kansas City Assembly Plant from Feb. 21 to March 19, 2020
- 2020 Ford Expedition vehicles built at Kentucky Truck Plant from March 3 to 19, 2020.
Dealers will inspect the shift cable locking clip and properly seat it as needed. The Ford reference number for this recall is 20S18.
