Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 567 of its 2021 F-150 vehicles that were previously repaired incorrectly under a prior recall (22V-188). A software error may cause the vehicle's computer to falsely detect low transmission fluid pressure, which can trigger an unexpected shift into neutral while driving. This sudden loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash. Dealers will perform a free software update for the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to resolve the issue.

Risk

The vehicle may unexpectedly shift into neutral while in motion, resulting in a sudden loss of drive power. This increases the risk of a collision as the driver may be unable to maintain speed or safely navigate traffic.
