Sable V6-183 3.0L DOHC VIN S MFI (1997)
Parking Pawl: Recalls
Recall 96V166000: Parking Pawl Defect
The park pawl abutment bracket has a sharp edge which can cause the parking pawl to hang up and not engage the park gear. This would allow the
vehicle to move even though the gear shift indicator shows that the vehicle is in park.
Unintended and unexpected vehicle movement can result in personal injury and property damage.
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the park pawl abutment bracket.
Owner Notification: Owner notification is expected to begin September 23, 1996.
Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time
should contact Ford at 1-800-392-3673. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
