19 350 shifter recall

[MadMax]

Not sure if 2020 was included in the recall. I had the replacement shifter installed in my 19 and if works well. Pretty sure you would get a notice if your car was shipped with a known shifter issue.

Well I thought the same but saw another member having similar issues with a 2020.

I got my notice through FordPass.
Maybe someone will fill in if something is going on with the 2020. If nothing comes up and you continue having issues with the shifter, maybe it's a warranty replacement.

I’m going to give it some time but thought it was odd as it’s happened a couple of times to me already. Definitely interested in the mgw though.

I’ve been eyeballing the MGW for a year now. I keep spending money on the other two cars instead of just getting the MGW for the Shelby.

I want to do the install myself but I’m a bit intimidated by the job to be honest, maybe that’s really why I havent bought it yet.

im sure the 2020s came with the updates parts since the recall was put into motion before 2020 production began.
good luck with your 2020.

I’m glad I ran across this thread. I’ve been driving my 2020 GT350R and have about 200 miles on it now and definitely having some issues getting it into reverse at times sometimes taking me multiple times to get it to engage to the point the reverse camera comes on but it isn’t engaged into gear.

Those that have replaced with MGW have you had any issues with 3rd gear? I saw a video on mustang lifestyle and he was complaining about it. Also the reverse with the pushing down instead of pulling up the collar. I’ve heard mixed feelings about that as well. I haven’t received any recall notice though.

Thanks

never had a problem with the MGW - highly recommend

Customer Satisfaction Program 19B34 – Gearshift Lever Assembly Reverse Lock-Out – 2018-2019 Ford Mustang GT350. On some of the affected vehicles, the gearshift lever reverse lockout feature may not function as intended if the gearshift lever assembly becomes damaged during an aggressive shift event.
Most likely your car is not needed this. But you may check by entering VIN #:

Truly love the mgw shifter, it is a little stiff for going into reverse, but other than that very positive shifts and never had a issue with 3rd gear

My ‘19, which I bought new this past June has a build date of June ‘19. I assume the shift lever problem was taken care of before I bought the car.
Is there a way I can check without contacting the dealership?

Edit: BTW shifter works just fine. The first couple times using reverse there was slight difficulty. Zero issues since.

Go to FordPass app. It will show if still pending.

I did that, thank you.
I guess I’d be able to find it if it was a concern.
Will FordPass show maintenance history? Can’t seem to find it. Only maintenance so far has been an oil change that I did myself. Still shows 54% life left.

Just called the dealership.
The service was done in March.

If done at dealer, then yes. If done at non-Ford dealer or by you, then u can manually add the record. Open FordPass, select vehicle if have more than the GT350, select Vehicle Details, select Service and Support, scroll down to Service History.

When u changed ur oil urself, did u reset the oil life?

MadMax - look at my posts on page 11. Brand new 2020 R had problems with the lockout ring from literally the first time I drove it, backing out of a parking spot at the dealership and then trying to put it in first. The lockout ring would not go down smoothly after taking it out of reverse so when you went for 1st, it would slide right over to reverse. Got a little better with some miles but then it started happening again so put an MGW in it and no further problems. It is an amazing feeling transmission to use, fast or slow, way better than the MT82 with MGW in my Boss. I actually enjoyed the factory shift lever feel but the MGW is a lot firmer and more mechanical feeling.

Thanks for that.
I just updated my oil change.
There is nothing in my FordPass service record mentioning the shift lever replacement. I guess the dealership didn’t update it or they got paid for work they didn’t do. Guess I’ll never know.
