Ford Announces Another Recall Of 273K Units In North America

 | May 17, 2019 08:10AM ET

Per Reuters, Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) is recalling roughly 273,000 of Ford Ranger pickups and Fusion vehicles in North America. A transmission glitch can shift gears and roll away vehicles if the gear is not in the "park" mode.

Out of the total recalls, Fusion cars consist nearly 270,000 from the model years 2013 through 2016. The cars have a shifter cable, which, in case of disconnection from the transmission, will result in unintentional vehicle movement. Approximately 2,800 Ford Ranger trucks of the model year 2019 have a similar problem that led to the recall.

The dealers will fix the issue in the recalled Fusions by tightening the two fasteners that are used to secure shift cable bracket to the transmission. Ford is uninformed about any accident or injury for this issue in Ranger pickups. However, it received three reports of property damage and one injury report due to defective Fusion sedans.
