Over half a million Ford F-150 pickups from the 2014 model year are being recalled due to a sensor malfunction. The malfunctioning sensor detects transmission speed and can experience failures, interrupting signals to the vehicle's powertrain control module. This issue has the potential to cause an unintended downshifting into first gear, regardless of the vehicle's speed. Ford will notify owners by mail with instructions to take their trucks to dealers for repairs and updates at no charge. The F-150 is the top-selling vehicle in the United States.
