Dec 19 (Reuters) - Ford is recalling 272,645 vehicles in the U.S. due to a ‌loss of park function, causing ​the vehicle to roll ‍away and increasing ⁠the risk ⁠of a crash, the U.S. ‌National Highway ​Traffic Safety Administration said on Friday.

The Dearborn, ⁠Michigan-based company ‍is ​recalling certain 2022-2026 F-150 Lightning BEV, 2024-2026 Mustang ‍Mach-E, and 2025-2026 Maverick vehicles, as the integrated park module may fail to lock ​into ‍the park position when the driver shifts ​into park, according to the NHTSA.

The park module software will be updated over-the-air or by a dealer ​free of charge, NHTSA added.
