What is wrong

If the cable breaks, the transmission gear indicator in the ‘prndl’ display in the instrument panel will remain in the first gear position regardless of the gear selected.
Risk
An incorrect gear indication in the instrument panel may prevent the driver from knowing if they are in park or reverse, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Ford will notify owners and dealers will replace the transmission selector arm assembly and the ‘prndl’ cable assembly, free of charge. The safety recall began on march 2, 2012. Owners may contact ford motor company customer relationship center at 1‑866‑436‑7332.
