The short version

Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the power train shift linkage/cable/rod. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The bushing that attaches the shifter cable to the transmission may degrade or detach.

WHY IT MATTERS

A damaged or missing bushing may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear, causing the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction. Additionally, the vehicle may roll after the driver selects the 'Park' position.

WHAT TO DO

Take it to a dealer — they will replace the underhood shifter cable bushing, and add a protective cap, free of charge.
