The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the power train automatic transmission. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles are equipped with an automatic transmission that may unexpectedly downshift to first gear, regardless of vehicle speed.
An unexpected downshift into first gear can cause the vehicle to slow down suddenly without warning and the rear tires may slide or lock, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the powertrain control module with updated software, free of charge.
