Ford Is Recalling 741,000 Trucks And SUVs Because They Might Just Roll Away On Their OwnIf you own a late-model F-150, Expedition, Navigator, Explorer, or Aviator, here's a fun new wrinkle for your morning: your truck might decide that "Park" is more of a suggestion than a command. Ford is recalling 741,195 vehicles because a glitchy park-by-wire setup can let them roll away, which is exactly the kind of thing you don't want a three-ton SUV doing in your driveway.Federal regulators dropped the recall notice on Tuesday, and the list of affected machinery reads like a Ford dealership showroom circa 2020. We're talking 2018-2021 Lincoln Navigator and Expedition, 2020-2021 Explorer and Lincoln Aviator, and the ever-popular 2020-2021 F-150. The common thread? All of them are packing park-by-wire functionality bolted to the 10R80 transmission, the 10-speed that Ford and GM cooked up together.Now, before you panic and chock your wheels with cinder blocks, Ford figures only about 1% of these vehicles actually have the defect. The good news is your truck will try to warn you first. A wrench warning light will pop up on the dash, and if the thing refuses to slot into park when you ask it to, the electronic parking brake will automatically clamp down to keep your pride and joy from going on an unsupervised adventure.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe fix, mercifully, won't cost you a dime. Owners can haul their recalled rigs to a Ford or Lincoln dealer for a software update and, where needed, replacement of the damaged transmission components, all free of charge. So if you've been ignoring that wrench light because you assumed it was just another annoying nag, maybe don't.And because Ford apparently believes in value bundling, there's a second recall to go with the main event. The Blue Oval is also calling back 36,046 Broncos from the 2022 to 2026 model years because the fender flares may not be properly secured and could literally fall off while you're driving. Nothing says off-road adventure like leaving a piece of your truck on the highway behind you.Join our Newsletter, follow our Instagram page, and connect with us on Facebook.
