## What the record says

- **Product**: LINCOLN AVIATOR (2023) - Recall 23V070000
- **Reason**: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2023 F-150, Mustang, Explorer, Bronco, and 2023 Lincoln Aviator vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. The transmission may contain a loose bolt which could prevent the transmission from engaging the park gear, although the gear shifter position may indicate that the vehicle has been shifted to "PARK." The inability to secure the vehicle in the park position can result in a rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
