WASHINGTON, Feb 13 (Reuters) – Ford Motor Co. said on Wednesday it was recalling about 1½ million F-150 pickup trucks in North America because of a potential transmission downshift issue that could increase the risk of a crash.
Ford said some 2011-2013 model trucks with six-speed automatic transmission could experience an unintended downshift into first gear without warning, which could result in the loss of vehicle control. Ford is aware of five accidents, including one report of whiplash potentially related to the issue.
