Ford Recalls 1.4 Million F-150 Trucks

0:00Ford's issuing a massive recall on nearly 1,400,000 F-150 trucks from 2015 to 2017. These all pack a six-speed automatic transmission, and the problem stems from a faulty signal in the transmission range sensor messing with the power train control module. That glitch can force the truck to downshift suddenly into second gear, raising the risk of drivers losing control on the road. This might spot a wrench icon, lighting up on the dashboard, as a warning sign when the signal goes bad. It's a clear heads-up that something's off with the transmission communication. This hits hard for truck owners who rely on these rigs for daily halls or heavy work, potentially turning a routine drive into a safety nightmare if. Ignored. Ford's rolling out letters to owners next week to flag the issue. For now, dealers will update the power train control module software for free while the company hunts for a long-term fix. If you got one of these F-150s, swing by a dealership soon or hit up the NHTSA Hotline
