Calgary News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Ford Recalls 1.4 Million F-150s for Safety Issue. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.

Ford just dropped a major safety recall on 144,000 F-150s in Canada because of a gear-shift glitch that messes with driver control. This hit trucks with six-speed automatic transmissions built from 2015 to 2017. Down in the U.S., nearly 1,400,000 vehicles are involved, including some 2014 models too. The problem stems from worn-out electrical connections inside the transmission. That creates a faulty signal from the sensor, leading to unexpected shifts. Drivers might feel in a abrupt drop in speed, even rear tires skidding briefly until things slow down. Ford knows of two injuries and one possible crash tied to this. Dealers will fix it by updating the powertrain control module software for free. If your truck shows certain air codes already, they'll swap out the transmission lead frame too. F-150 owners punch your vehicle identification number into Ford's recall site online to

check if yours qualifies and get ahead of any road. Drama. From your city, powered by AI, this is Calvary News today. I'm Corey with The Story.
