## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2021 F\-150 vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 22V\-188.  The Diagnostic Trouble Code \(DTC\) for low transmission fluid pressure may falsely activate and cause the transmission to unexpectedly shift into neutral.


## What can happen

An unexpected shift into neutral will cause a loss of drive power and increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will update the Powertrain Control Module \(PCM\) software, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed April 22, 2025.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 25S24.
