Latest F150 Recall (Transmission)

I've been following this on the news. It could definitely ruin your day.

"FISH" what say you??

I think we should take up a different hobby. Too dangerous out there. Brake pedals falling off, steering failing and now unexpected down shifts.

I betcha GM doesn't try to copy this feature.:(

Maybe when they fix the downshift issue, they'll also install the missing dipstick / fill tube?

Thanks for the call out... And Fish says with his '12 Ford Super Duty with 163k miles, 5k engine hours and ~7 years old with not a single safety recall I sleep good at night. :C




Oh and as a favor to you, I included some pictures of a properly designed steering bar retaining bracket so you don't loose your steering that you can purchase at your local friendly Ford dealer and install it on your recalled ram steering bracket instead of some mechanic trying to weld the nut jams. :E

F150 Recall

I didn't see you make this statement about loosing your steering? :E

Maybe I just missed it... :W

Well you finally replied “FISH”. I will take a loose nut any day over this HUGE recall.

By the way my “NUTS” are TIGHT!

I “recall” starting a thread about this a while ago and it got some posters all knotted up about it. So the Fiat solution is to tack weld the nuts together huh? Sounds similar to another weldment that went wrong on the same front ends..

In an attempt to stay on topic, my 2012 F150 work truck will be subject to this recall. It is a great truck, but I have noticed some "weird" shifting at times, although nothing like what this would be.

With respect to my 2013 Ram 3500, I can guarantee there won't be any welding of the jam nuts....;)
