Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Ford is recalling certain 2011-2012 F-150, 2012 Expedition and Lincoln Navigator, and 2012-2013 Mustang vehicles due to a defective transmission range sensor that may be calibrated out of specification for reverse gear. This defect can prevent the transmission from engaging in reverse, or if it does engage, the "R" indicator on the dashboard may not illuminate on F-150, Expedition, or Navigator models. Additionally, the backup lamps on the rear of F-150, Expedition, Navigator, or Mustang vehicles may not illuminate. These conditions increase the risk of a crash or pedestrian being struck since the vehicle would not signal that it is in reverse.
Ford will notify owners of affected vehicles, and dealers will inspect and replace the transmission range sensor at no charge. The safety recall began on June 11, 2012. Owners of affected vehicles may contact Ford Motor Company Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332.
