1980: 21 Million Vehicles, But An Easy Fix

While this has to be the largest recall in the history of automobile recalls, Ford also found the niftiest solution to it. A design defect in the automatic transmission of nearly 23 million Ford cars so made from 1966 to 1980 could cause some vehicles to slip from park into reverse. We don’t need to create the worst-case scenario for this because, after 6,000 accidents and 100 deaths associated with this issue, Ford finally issued a recall.

Did it fix the problem? Nope, because that would have cost actual money. So what Ford did was the next best thing – slapped a warning sticker on the dashboard and laughed in the faces of the NHTSA.

How does this happen on an inverted delta item?
