The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the automatic transmission torque converter. Here is what owners need to know.
On vehicles with 2.0L gas engines and six-speed automatic transmissions, the torque converter weld studs may have been inadequately welded.
If the torque converter weld studs fail, the torque converter will not be connected to the engine flexplate and the vehicle will lose the ability to move, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque converters, free of charge.
