Ford recall: Power train
What is wrong
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2016 F-650 trucks manufactured July 29, 2015, to September 3, 2015. The affected vehicles may have been built with an incorrect Park-Reverse-Neutral-Drive-Manual (PRNDM) steering column, instead of Reverse-Neutral-Drive-Manual (RNDM) steering column. If the vehicle has the incorrect steering column, is parked on a hill, and the PRNDM placed in "P", park pawl may fracture due to being overloaded.
What could happen
If the park pawl fractures, the vehicle may unexpectedly move, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the PRNDM steering column with the correct RNDM steering column, free of charge. The recall began on January 5, 2016. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 15S35.
