Ford Motor Co (NYSE: F) is recalling more than 3.3 million cars in North America over a damaged or missing part that may prevent the vehicles from shifting into the intended gear and pose a rollaway risk.
The recall includes more than 2.9 million cars in the US and 394,000 in Canada, among which Ford estimates 1% will have the issue.
A damaged or missing shift cable bushing may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear, and Ford said, “Exiting a vehicle without the transmission in the park position and without application of the parking brake may allow the vehicle to roll, increasing the risk of injury or crash.”
The carmaker said it was aware of six incidents of alleged property damage and four reports of injuries related to the recalled vehicles.
The latest notice is Ford’s fifth recall over the issue since 2018. Ford previously recalled about 1.4 million vehicles worldwide.
