From CBS News:
Ford Motor is recalling nearly 273,000 vehicles due to an issue with the parking function that could cause cars to roll away, increasing the risk of a crash, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The recall affects certain F-150 Lightning BEV pickup trucks with model years 2022-2026; Mustang Mach-E cars with model years 2024-2026; and Maverick pickups with model years 2025-2026.
The integrated parking module in those vehicles may fail to lock into park when drivers shift into that gear, NHTSA said in a notice.
Ford will be issuing letters to owners on Feb. 2, 2026.
Conveniently, the faulty software can be updated remotely, or “over-the-air,” or by the dealer, NHTSA said. Ford’s number for this recall is 25C69.
