Transmissions Issue: Ford Recalls Over 550,000 Pickup Trucks

USA – Ford is recalling over 550,000 F-150 pickup trucks from the 2014 model year in the U.S. due to a transmission issue causing unexpected downshifting to first gear, increasing crash risks.

Announced Tuesday by U.S. Safety Regulators, the recall follows a March investigation.

The issue is due to a signal loss between a transmission speed sensor and the powertrain control computer.

Ford says it will update the software for free, notifying owners in early July, with repairs expected by Q3 2024.
