Ford is recalling more than 550,000 pickup trucks in the U.S. because the transmissions can unexpectedly downshift to first gear, no matter how fast the trucks are going.
The recall covers certain F-150 pickups from the 2014 model year. Ford's F-Series pickups are the top-selling vehicles in the U.S.
Ford says in documents posted by U.S. safety regulators that the downshifting can cause drivers to lose control of the trucks, increasing the risk of a crash.
