Ford Recalls 2026 Models Over Transmission Issue

Ford has issued a recall for several 2026 model year vehicles after discovering a transmission defect that could pose a safety risk. The automaker reported that a manufacturing flaw may cause the transmission to unexpectedly shift into neutral while driving, increasing the chance of a crash.

The recall affects a range of popular models, though Ford has not yet released a full list of affected vehicles.

According to company statements, the problem stems from a faulty sensor in the transmission control module. Drivers may notice a sudden loss of power or an inability to accelerate, which can be especially dangerous on highways or in heavy traffic. Ford says it is aware of a small number of incidents related to the issue but no injuries have been reported.

Owners will be notified by mail starting next month.
