Why it was recalled
Ford is recalling certain 2018 F-150 vehicles that were previously repaired incorrectly under a prior recall. The shift lever may fail to properly indicate the selected gear when moved from Park to Drive, potentially resulting in the selection of an unintended gear such as Reverse or Neutral.
