   Issue: On some trucks, a sensor problem may cause the transmission to suddenly downshift to first gear. This could cause the rear wheels to suddenly slow and potentially create a loss of stability. Safety Risk: A loss of vehicle stability could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the Powertrain Control Module reprogrammed.

   On certain vehicles equipped with 3.5L V6 GTDI EcoBoost engines, the electric vacuum pump (EVP) may fail due to moisture entry through the engine vacuum harness. Failure of the EVP may result in reduced brake assist immediately after first start up, and depending on the driver’s reaction, may result in extended stopping distance which may increase the potential for a low-speed collision causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the EVP and vacuum harness.

   Certain vehicles equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission may experience an intermittent loss of the Transmission Output-shaft Speed Sensor (OSS) signal to the Power Control Module. This could potentially cause an unintended downshift into first gear, which depending on vehicle speed at the time of the downshift, may cause the rear tires to slide or lock up until the vehicle slows. This may result in a loss of vehicle control without warning, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Powertrain Control Module with updated software.

   Certain vehicles may have been equipped with incorrect Occupant Classification System software. In some instances, these vehicles could temporarily experience an inaccurate occupant classification, which may illuminate the Passenger Airbag Disable lamp or activate the seatbelt minder. Failure of the passenger frontal airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will replace the Occupant Classification System Module.

   Certain vehicles may have been equipped with an incorrectly manufactured Transmission Range Sensor. In some instances, when the shift lever is placed in the "R" position, signal may not be provided to the electronic transmission range indicator "PRNDL" for "R" illumination and/or for backup lamp activation. Should the backup lamps fail to illuminate, the driver's intentions to reverse may not be conveyed clearly to other motorists and/or pedestrians, which could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the Transmission Range Sensor.
