Ford Recalls 2017 F-150 Trucks Due to Transmission Shift Linkage Defect

Ford is recalling 2017 F-150 trucks with ten-speed transmissions because a pin may detach, causing the vehicle to roll or fail to move as selected.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (transmission linkage) that explicitly increases the risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2017 F-150 vehicles equipped with ten-speed transmissions. The recall addresses a defect where the pin that attaches the transmission shift linkage to the transmission may come out. This failure prevents the transmission from responding to movement of the shift lever.

The disconnected linkage may cause the vehicle to not move forward or backward as selected by the driver. Additionally, despite selecting 'Park', if the parking brake is not applied, the vehicle may roll. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash.

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the roll pin with an updated part, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 2017. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
