What happened

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2015 F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty trucks manufactured between September 13, 2013, and March 28, 2014, that are equipped with 6.2L gasoline or 6.7L diesel engines and 6R140 transmissions. A transmission control software error can cause the vehicle to engage Reverse for approximately 1.5 seconds while the gear selection displays Drive, which creates a risk of unexpected vehicle movement and potential crashes.

Ford will notify owners of affected vehicles, and authorized dealers will update the transmission software at no cost. The recall began on May 6, 2014. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Ford customer service at 1-800-392-3673, and reference recall number 14C04.
