The U.S.National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has launched a preliminary investigation into nearly 1.3 million Ford F-150 pickup trucks following reports of unexpected transmission downshifts that may cause temporary rear wheel lock-up.

Ford’s truck recall game plan? Dealers will inspect the steering column serial numbers and replace the faulty columns as necessary, all on the house. Owners should keep an eye out for communications from Ford, slated to begin on April 24, 2025. The reference number for this recall is 25S20.
