DETROIT (AP) — 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 Tuesday by U.S. safety regulators that the downshifting can cause drivers to lose control of the trucks, increasing the risk of a crash. The recalls come after U.S. auto safety regulators in March began investigating complaints that more than 540,000 Ford pickup trucks from 2014 can abruptly downshift to a lower gear and increase the risk of a crash.

New electric cars coming in 2025-2026

The apparent winners in new car sales so far this year are small, affordable cars and SUVs. It’s been a tough few weeks for new car buyers, and not just because of higher interest rates and transaction prices. Cyberattacks on major software vendor CDK Global hobbled some 15,000 dealerships’ ability to get into a selling stride, right as we head into the 4th of July holiday. While the company says all the affected dealers should be back online as of Tuesday, it still undoubtedly took a bite out of sales in the last week of June. A study by Anderson Economic Group (as reported by Automotive News) indicates that the system shutdown could cost dealers anywhere from $600 million to as much as $1 billion. As automakers and shareholders cross their fingers for strong sales as we pass 2024’s halfway point, we now have an opportunity to get a closer look at just how many new cars and trucks you all bought in the past six months compared to the same time frame last year.
