Ford Recalls 500,000 F-150 Pickups For Dangerous Transmission Issue

Ford is recalling more than half a million examples of the 2014 F-150 due to a problematic sensor that could cause the automatic transmission to shift into first gear regardless of the travel speed.

 

According to the Safety Recall Report, the transmission Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor could experience intermittent signal loss to the Powertrain Control Module. Should this occur, the transmission may shift into first gear without warning. Of course, this could have devastating consequences, especially when traveling at high speed. The recall concerns 552,188 examples built for MY2014.
