## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain model year 2014 F\-150 vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall number 24V444.

Dealers will update the PCM software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 8, 2026. Owners may contact customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.
