Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 552,188 of its 2014 F-150 vehicles due to a software defect that can cause the truck to suddenly shift into first gear. This unexpected downshift can happen at any speed and is caused by a communication failure between the transmission speed sensor and the powertrain control module. Owners of these vehicles will receive a free software update at their local dealership to prevent this issue.
If the vehicle unexpectedly downshifts into first gear while driving, it can cause the driver to lose control of the truck, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
