52,000 Ford F250s Recalled.Or Or here.Ford is recalling 52,000 F-250 pick-up trucks over a fault which can cause the vehicle to roll while the automatic transmission lever is in park position.In a statement, the company advised users of the 2017 vehicles, sold in the US and Canada, to use the hand brake when shifting the car into park mode.It said it was not aware of any accidents or injuries associated with the issue.It is the Michigan-based automaker's third recall in a week.

The NHTSA recalls about 20 million autos every year so that's not too many.

Every auto maker has 'Recalls'---------1000s and 1000s of themRecalls are the marketing protocol of the 21st Century EVERYBODY is doing it......not just autos.

The important thing is that, if this recall involves your truck, get it fixed ASAP. This type of problem in other vehicles has taken lives. Hopefully it won't with this one. More evidence that there are no perfect vehicles, of ANY brand. Buy what you like, and keep up with the recalls. If it's not your turn this time, it may be next time.

NOT AGAIN. Ford has had trouble in the past with their trucks slipping from Park to reverse. A Washington State Highway patrol officer was killed in Sequim, Wa years ago when a fire truck rolled back over him.

You would think that they would be extra careful for assure this does not happen.

Trolling Again,

The recall you're referencing to was from the 80's. This recall is for the 6.2L trucks and Ford is taking a proactive approach to get it fixed.

I mentioned this issue months ago on here. Regan issued a special ruling because Ford vehicles were falling into reverse and killing people. They were required to send everyone a sticker to place on the sun visor or dashboard. I almost got crushed by our F150 1/2 to when hooking up a small equipment trailer.
