The
automaker is aware of two injuries and one accident possibly
related to the issue.
The recall includes F-150 light trucks with a six-speed
automatic transmission that were produced between March 12, 2014
an Aug 18, 2017.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's safety
recall report says that some of the pickup trucks may experience
an intermittent selection signal of the transmission range
sensor to the powertrain control module, which may lead to a
temporary, unintended downshift into second gear. This may cause
an abrupt reduction in wheel speed for a short period of time,
which in some situations could cause the rear tires to slide
until the vehicle speed slows.
Ford is aware of 444 warranty claims and 105 customer service
reports that could be linked to the issue as of early this
month.
Vehicle owners will be notified about the recall by mail and
instructed to bring their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to
have their powertrain control module calibration updated at no
cost.
