Vehicle sway caused by shift cable plug

NHTSA Callback ID: 19V362000

The shift cable ensures that the vehicle can shift gears and that the vehicle is within the driver’s desired speed. Shift cables and their components are an integral part of the operation of a vehicle.

Some Ford Fusions have a shift cable that separates from the rest of the shift assembly due to a damaged or defective bushing. When this plug fails and the shift cable becomes loose, the vehicle can roll unexpectedly.

This can cause accidents and serious bodily injury.

Dealers will replace the bushing on the shift cable to correct this problem.
