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, and cause 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 under hood shift bushing and add a protective cap over the shift cable bushing, free of charge.
