Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Ford is recalling certain 2011 F-150 vehicles manufactured between September 9-22, 2011, and 2012 F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 heavy-duty vehicles manufactured between September 12-22, 2011. These vehicles have a brake shift interlock switch problem that allows the transmission to shift out of park without the brake pedal being pressed, which increases the risk of a crash or injury to nearby pedestrians.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake shift interlock switch function and replace it if necessary at no cost to the owner. Affected consumers should contact Ford Motor Company Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332.
