2020 FORD RANGER Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2020 Ford Ranger has 5 recalls, the most serious being a transmission shift cable that can detach and leave the transmission in a different gear than the shifter shows, allowing the vehicle to roll away unexpectedly if the driver exits without applying the parking brake. The engine block heater, when plugged in, can crack and leak coolant onto its own electrical connection, creating a short circuit and a fire risk. On the restraint side, front passenger seat belts on Super Cab models may have been misrouted during assembly and can fail to hold an occupant properly in a crash. Two recalls cover child seat security in the rear seats: the lower anchor points may not be positioned correctly, and the fixed rear head restraints can block taller child and booster seats with rigid connectors from seating fully, leaving the seat improperly attached and offering less protection in a crash.
