Affects Ford F-150 · 2018 — about 1K vehicles.
The hazard
Issue: On certain trucks, the recall repairs completed by a Ford dealer during recall 17S35 (Transport Canada recall no. 2017-517) may not have been done correctly. As a result, a second repair is required. Under certain conditions, the transmission gear selection indicator (PRNDL) may not work. Additionally, the transmission could shift into the reverse or neutral gear. This could cause sudden and unexpected vehicle movements. Note: This recall only affects certain trucks equipped with a 3.3 L engine and a 6-speed transmission. Safety Risk: A transmission gear selection indicator that doesn't work could create confusion. A vehicle that moves unexpectedly could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your truck to a dealership to update the powertrain control module software.
