Ford recalls 2.9 million vehicles that could roll away when placed in park

Ford is recalling 2.9 million vehicles that might not shift into the correct gear and could move in an unintended direction.

The National Highway Safety Administration says it has 6 reports of property damage and 4 reports of injuries potentially related to the problem.

The recall impacts the following vehicles:

  • 2013 - 2019 Escape

  • 2013-2018 C-Max

  • 2013-2016 Fusion

  • 2013-2021 Transit Connect.

Apparently, the transmission on the affected Ford cars and SUVs may not be in the park position, even though the shifter position indicates that the vehicle was shifted to park. Drivers have exited a vehicle only to have it roll, increasing the risk of injury or crash, according to the NHTSA.
