Ford has recalled more than half-a-million of its Ford F-150 vehicles nationwide due to a transmission issue that can cause the vehicles to suddenly shift into first gear.
The automaker notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the recall on June 24.
According to the notice, Ford is recalling 552,188 of its 2014 Ford F-150s due to a transmission issue. Ford says the vehicles can suffer a loss of signal between the transmission output shaft speed sensor and the powertrain control module.
This can then cause the transmission to unexpectedly downshift into first gear, regardless of vehicle speed, the recall says. “Unexpectedly downshifting into first gear may result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash,” Ford says.
Warning light may turn on in trucks with transmission issue
Drivers who are experiencing the issue may notice that the Malfunction Indicator Light is on, Ford says.
In some cases, the signal can recover while driving and the vehicle will resume normal function. But in others, the vehicle may need to be stopped and restarted to regain normal transmission operation, Ford says.
The company says it will fix the issue for free. Dealers will update the powertrain control module software. Owners will be mailed notification letters starting July 1.
In May, Ford Motor Company issued another recall for 242,669 Ford Maverick pickup trucks over concerns their rear tail lights could fail to illuminate. The recall involves model year 2022-2024 Ford Maverick vehicles produced between Feb. 3, 2021 and March 21, 2024.

I had a 2014 would not stop run into the back of a jeep van and totaled my Raptor. Never received letter, I got a text message. They knew about it the month prior. My 2nd Raptor, knew about it in 2019, it rolled and totaled. I lost both. Over $200k and was sued. No one hs held me yet.
We had a2018 f150 very low mileage. It was in 5 shop for 4 months for the transmission. They ended up rebuilding our transmission. When we got it back the carpet on the passenger side would get wet whenever we would drive it. The dealer kept saying that was the windshield. We had the windshield replaced and no change. Not sure why it was happening but still had a warranty on the truck so sold it to the dealer so we didn’t have to deal with it.
My 2016 f150 xlt been in shop haven’t ran for4 months going down the road and it went from 6th to first while I was doing 65 ran off the road hit my head off windshield and miss work and now costing me 7500 that I don’t have is there something I can do
