Ii had recall 19v362000 power train:automatic transmission:lever and linkage:floor shift done on this car I cannot remember or find the date.

I removed my ignition key from the car after parking and putting the shifter into the park position, but the car began rolling backwards. I had to immediately apply the emergency brake to stop my car from hitting another car. I researched online and discovered that there was a recall issued on my year make and model car for the exact same problem that I am having. However, I contacted Ford and they indicated that there is no current recall on my car for this issue, and yet my car was manufactured during the time of the noted defects.
