Summary

Motiv Power Systems is recalling 222 vehicles, including certain 2017-2025 E-450, F-59, and F-53 models. A connector pin in the throttle position sensor (TPS) power wire may loosen over time, which can lead to a loss of signal to the powertrain control module. If this happens, the vehicle may experience a sudden loss of drive power while in motion. Motiv field technicians will inspect and repair or replace the powertrain control module (PCM) connector free of charge.

Risk

A sudden loss of drive power while driving can prevent the vehicle from maintaining speed or accelerating, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
