Ford Recalls 1.4 Million F-150 Trucks Over Unexpected Downshifts
Ford says a software update and lead-frame replacements will fix the defect, which the company links to two injuries and one crash.
- Ford is recalling about 1.4 million F-150 pickup trucks in the United States following a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation into unexpected downshift risks.
- An intermittent selection signal from the transmission range sensor may cause an unintended downshift into second gear, potentially leading to temporary loss of vehicle control.
- Ford is aware of 444 warranty claims and 105 customer service reports linked to the issue as of early this month; NHTSA said the problem resulted in injuries and one accident.
- Vehicle owners will be notified by mail and instructed to bring their trucks to Ford or Lincoln dealers for powertrain control module calibration updates at no cost.
- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration first opened a preliminary evaluation last year after receiving complaints, then expanded the safety-related investigation earlier this year.
