Its Shop Time Monday: Ford And Lincoln Recall Approximately 200,000 Model Years 2014-15 Cars For Rollaway Concerns

 

Brake Light Malfunction and Possible Rollaway Risk

A separated brake pedal bumper can cause the brake lights to illuminate continuously, causing confusion to other drivers and increasing the risk of a crash. On automatic transmission vehicles, a missing brake pedal bumper can allow the driver to shift the vehicle out of the "PARK" position without depressing the brake, allowing the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of injury.
