F recalls 1.4M F-150 pickups after downshift issue tied to crash risk and NHTSA review.
www.zacks.comHere are the latest Ford F-150 recall updates I can share right now:
-
There have been several recalls affecting F-150 trucks in recent years, including a large 2021–2023 model recall for the electronic parking brake system and separate recalls linked to rear-axle bolts in 2023–2025 models. These issues have prompted Ford to offer free repairs or replacements and to notify owners through official channels.
-
In 2025, Ford expanded recall coverage to certain 2023–2025 F-150s with Tow Max packages due to rear-axle hub bolt fatigue that could increase crash risk, with dealership repairs to replace rear axle shafts and hub bolts at no cost.
-
A 2026 notice indicated a separate recall affecting about 1.4 million F-150 pickups in the U.S. over unintended downshifts tied to transmission range sensor signals, with software updates and possible component replacements under warranty. This is one of Ford’s larger recent recall actions.
How this affects you in Los Angeles:
- If you own a 2021–2023 F-150 with the electronic parking brake or a 2023–2025 F-150 with Tow Max, check for NHTSA recall notices and Ford owner notifications.
