Ford Recalls 1.4M F-150s Over Gearshift Glitch

0:00It's April 17, I'm Cory with the story. This is California News today, driven by AI. Ford's calling back nearly 1.4 million F-150 pickup trucks over a gear shift glitch that could lead to crashes. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration flagged it because a signal dropout between the transmission sensor and the powertrain module might. Make the truck suddenly drop into second gear, throwing off control. These are the F-150s with six speed automatic transmissions built from March 12, 2014 through August 18, 2017. Owners my spot at check engine light or a wrench icon flashing on the dash if something's wrong. So far, Ford knows of two injuries and one crash that could tie back to this issue, which has folks paying close attention to their rigs on the road. Dealers will update or swap out the faulty parts for free, and Ford starts mailing notices to owners on April 27.
