According to Ford Motor Company, on your vehicle, it may be possible for the parking brake to disengage without pressing the release button.

Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions

According to FCA, the driver seat belt buckle may have been built with an incorrect switch sense magnet. Suspect vehicles may incorrectly activate the warning system indicating that the seat belt is unlatched when it is latched. Failure to detect whether an occupant is buckled can impede the seatbelt warning system from deactivating when the belt is properly fastened, potentially leading to reduced seat belt use which can increase the risk of injury in certain crashes. This is for FCA Recall Campaign 24V129.
