Ford has recalled more than 11,000 hybrid vehicles that may unexpectedly shift into neutral while driving due to corrosion in the transmission.
Ford Motor Company estimates that 100% of the outlined vehicles are affected by the recall, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall report. As of Sept. 28, Ford was aware of 15 warranty claims, one field report and one customer report in the United States, the report outlines.
