Ford Motor Co. is recalling about 645,000 pickup trucks across Canada and the United States because the transmissions can unexpectedly downshift to first gear no matter how fast the trucks are going.
Ford says in documents posted Tuesday by U.S. safety regulators that the downshifting can cause drivers to lose control of the trucks, increasing the risk of a crash. Documents say the problem is caused by a lost signal between a transmission speed sensor and the powertrain control computer. There also could be corrosion and problems with connector pins.
Ford says in documents posted Tuesday by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it has 396 warranty and field reports and 124 customer complaints about the problem, covering 482 trucks.
