Ford Motor Company is recalling certain model year 2016 Ford F-53 and F-59 stripped chassis trucks over an issue that allows them to be shifted out of “Park” without applying the brakes.

Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries associated with this issue.
Affected vehicles: certain 2016 Ford F-53 and F-59 vehicles built at Detroit Chassis Plant between June 1, 2015 through August 11, 2015.
