Ford Recalls Half a Million F-150s Due to Serious Transmission Problems
A sensor fault can cause the transmission to suddenly shift into first gear at any speed.
Ford has issued an F-150 recall affecting 552,188 trucks built for the 2014 model year.
A problem with the sensor can cause the transmission to suddenly shift into first gear, regardless of speed.
Sudden downshifting is never good, but at higher speeds, it can lead to loss of control.
According to recall information from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the truck's powertrain control module (PCM) may lose signal with the transmission output shaft speed sensor.
If this happens, the transmission may suddenly downshift to first gear. The recall document doesn't identify a specific problem for the signal loss, but the fix is ​​very easy.
Ford will update the PCM with new software, which requires a visit to a dealer, as 2014 was before over-the-air updates.
