Ford Recalls F-150s in Canada

Ford has a safety problem with some vehicles.

Ford is recalling 144,000 F-150s in Canada due to a gearshift issue.

The problem affects vehicles made between 2015 and 2017 with six-speed automatic transmissions. It also affects some 2014 models in the US. Almost 1.4 million vehicles are affected in the US. The issue is with the gearshift. It can cause problems with the vehicle's control.

Some trucks have bad electrical connections, which can cause signal issues.

This can cause the vehicle to downshift suddenly while moving.

The issue can cause the vehicle's wheels to slow down quickly, which can make the rear tires slide. This can happen when the vehicle is moving. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported this.

Ford knows about two injuries and one accident that might be related to the issue.

Ford dealers can update the vehicle's software to fix the issue. If the vehicle had problems before, Ford will replace a part for free.

F-150 drivers can check if their vehicle is affected on Ford's website.
