Ford has issued two safety recalls in North America involving select 2019 Ranger vehicles and select 2013-16 Fusion vehicles with 2.5-liter engines. The recall affects roughly 2,500 Ranger vehicles and 270,000 Fusion vehicles in the North American region.
The issue at hand regarding the Ranger models are two fasteners that secure the vehicle’s transmission shift cable bracket to the transmission housing while that of the Fusion models involve a shifter cable bushing issue (bushing that attaches the vehicle’s shifter cable may degrade and detach from the transmission on affected vehicles). The latter could result in unintended vehicle movement during driving.

Ford has not identified any accidents or injuries regarding the Ranger’s fault but is aware of three reports alleging property damage and one alleging injury potentially related to the Fusion’s fault. The affected vehicles are spread across the US, Canada and Mexico but with most based in the US.
