## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2019 Expedition and 2019\-2020 Mustang vehicles.  The "Transmission Not In Park" warning message and associated chime duration are shorter than intended.


## What can happen

If the driver exits the vehicle without the transmission being shifted into park, unintended vehicle movement may result, increasing the risk of injury or crash.


## The remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the instrument cluster, free of charge.  The recall began May 26, 2020.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 20S21.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
