Defect:
Ford motor company (ford) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 lincoln mkz hybrid vehicles manufactured april 26, 2012, through september 24, 2013. due to a manufacturing error, the transmission range sensor may not function properly allowing the affected vehicles to be shifted out of the park position without first applying the brake pedal. thus, these vehicles fail to conform with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) no. 114, "theft protection."
