## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2026 Escape and Lincoln Corsair vehicles. The integrated park module may fail to lock into the park position when the driver shifts into park. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."


## What can happen

A loss of park function can allow the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

The Secondary On Board Diagnostic Module C \(SOBDMC\) software will be updated over\-the\-air \(OTA\) or by a dealer, free of charge.  Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed June 5, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available, anticipated in August 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25C69. Vehicle Identification Numbers \(VINs\) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on May 15, 2026. This recall expands previous NHTSA recall number 25V863.
