\n <\/p>\n
\n Ford Motor Company is recalling nearly 1.4 million F-150 pickup trucks due to a gearshift issue that can increase the risk of a crash, according to a notice<\/a> from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.<\/p>\n

Federal regulators said a loss in signal between the transmission range sensor and the powertrain control module transmission can cause certain F-150 trucks to unexpectedly downshift into second gear, which could result in a loss of vehicle control.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The recall affects F-150 vehicles equipped with six-speed automatic transmission produced between March 12, 2014, and Aug. 18, 2017.<\/p>\n

In its recall report<\/a>, NHTSA said some vehicle owners may notice an illuminated malfunction indicator light or wrench light on the vehicle’s dashboard if there’s an issue with the transmission range sensor.<\/p>\n

Ford is aware of two injuries and one accident potentially related to the gearshift issue, according to NHTSA.<\/p>\n

The Michigan-based carmaker plans to send letters to vehicle owners beginning April 27. Owners can take their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to have affected components of their F-150 updated or replaced.\u00a0<\/p>\n
