CNN —Ford is recalling more than 550,000 F-150 pickups in the United States because of an issue that can cause the transmission to suddenly and unexpectedly, at any speed, shift down to first gear.
Before that happens, a malfunction indicator light in the truck’s gauge cluster may turn on Ford spokesperson Maria Buczkowski said in an email to CNN.
To fix the problem, Ford dealers will update the trucks’ control module software at no cost to the owner.
Ford will start mailing letters to owners of the trucks involved in a few days.
A new software update to fix the 2014 trucks will be ready sometime in the next three months, Buczkowski said.
