POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2024 Explorer vehicles equipped with a 2.3L engine and 10R60 automatic transmission. An unintentional powertrain control module (PCM) reset may occur while the vehicle is in motion and result in park system damage.
- What it can cause
- A park system that is damaged may not shift into "PARK," resulting in a vehicle rollaway and increasing the risk of injury or crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect for park system damage and replace the park system components as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 24, 2026. Owners may contact customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26S39. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov on June 12, 2026.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.

How this campaign compares
At 58 vehicles this is a small campaign: 76% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the power train 129 times before this, most recently in May 2026 as 26V301000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

Their owners have filed 19 complaints with NHTSA, 14 of them before this campaign was filed. 1 of those name the power train, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in April 2024, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V451000 (seats), 26V159000 (seat belts), 26V123000 (back over prevention), 26V012000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on June 9, 2026 as campaign 26V371000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
