Ford F-150: Powertrain

Affects Ford F-150 · 2013 — about 15K vehicles.

The hazard

Issue: This recall affects trucks equipped with a 5.0 L or 6.2 L engine that were previously fixed under recall 2019-065 (Ford Recall 19S07). That recall did not fix the problem that may cause the transmission to suddenly downshift to first gear. If this happens, the rear wheels could slow suddenly and potentially create a loss of stability. Safety Risk: A loss of vehicle stability could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to reprogram the Powertrain Control Module.
