## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain model year 2015 F\-250, F\-350, F\-450, and F\-550 Super Duty trucks manufactured September 13, 2013, through March 28, 2014, and equipped with 6.2L gasoline or 6.7L diesel engines and 6R140 transmissions.  An error with the transmission control software may be such that while shifting from "Park" to "Drive" the vehicle may display "Drive" but possibly engage "Reverse" for 1.5 seconds before engaging "Drive."  Therefore, the vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect."


## What can happen

If the vehicle is in "Reverse" while the while the gear selection shows "Drive," unexpected movement could occur, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will update the transmission software, free of charge.  The recall began on May 6, 2014.  Owners may contact Fords customer service at 1\-800\-392\-3673.  Ford's number for this recall is 14C04.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
