AutoExec Summary
Ford has initiated an urgent safety recall for over 4,800 Ranger dual-cab utes and Everest four-wheel drives manufactured between 2021 and 2023 due to a software issue. If the vehicle’s battery level drops below a certain threshold, the transmission may unexpectedly shift into park at low speeds, potentially causing a sudden stop without activating the rear brake lights. This malfunction heightens the risk of accidents, jeopardizing the safety of occupants and other road users. Affected owners will be directly contacted by Ford to arrange free repairs at local dealerships. Both models are popular in Australia, with significant sales recorded in 2023.
