Ford keys for these vehicles may be able to be removed from the ignition when transmission is not in the park position.
The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the electrical system ignition. Here is what owners need to know.
The keys for these vehicles may be able to be removed from the ignition when transmission is not in the PARK position. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 114, "Theft Protection."
If the key is removed from the ignition while the vehicle is not in the PARK position and the parking brake is not applied, the vehicle may roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the shifter assembly, free of charge.
