Ford has issued a product safety recall for its popular Ranger, Everest and Mustang . However, unlike the simultaneously announced F-150 recall, this affects a small handful of vehicles.

“As a result, when the gear selector is placed into the reverse position the vehicle may fail to reverse and/or move forward inadvertently when placed into reverse or neutral position.
“Note: The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) and Wrench light will illuminate when the malfunction occurs.
“If the vehicle fails to reverse and/or moves forward inadvertently, this could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants, bystanders and other road users.”
