Ford is recalling 741,195 vehicles in the US ​over a transmission defect that can ‌damage the park system, which in turn could result in vehicles rolling away, the US ​National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said ​on Tuesday.

The recall affects certain 2018-2021 ⁠Navigator, Expedition, 2020-2021 Explorer, Lincoln Aviator, ​and 2021 F-150 vehicles, the regulator said.

The ​dealers will update the software, and inspect and replace any damaged transmission components free of ​charge, as per NHTSA.

Separately, Ford is ​also recalling 36,046 vehicles of its Bronco model in ‌the ⁠US over improperly secured fender flares that can detach from the vehicle, becoming a road hazard and increasing the ​risk of ​a crash, ⁠according to NHTSA.

Fender flares are the curved extensions above the ​tires that fit around the ​vehicle’s ⁠wheel arches.

The dealers will inspect and repair, or replace the fender flares as ⁠necessary, ​free of charge, as ​part of the recall remedy, NHTSA said.
