Ford recalls about 350,000 F-150s and Expeditions for faulty transmission gears

Wasn't Ford and GM in some kind of partnership with this transmission?
If so, I bet I can guess who made the case.... and who made the gears!

And I wonder if this will affect GM vehicles as well?

It's a clip on one, and a roll pin that locks the trans in park. Wouldn't be an issue if everyone used their parking brake.

I ran my vin through the ford recall checker and it did not come back as applicable to mine. I guess it’s not all the 2018s.

Isn’t this at least the third safety recall for the 2018 Expedtion?

Why can’t Ford get it right on a new vehicle?

It also wouldn’t be an issue if the vehicles were built right the first time.

They haven't in 115 years, but one could dream!

I hope everyone has to deal with this crap. Another reason to stick with 16-17 Ex. Total redesign and they still can’t get shit right

Ford lead engineering on the ten speed, GM on the 9 speed. Can’t blame this one on GM lol.

And the GM version doesn't have any problems...so far.

No mention of the Navigator in the article... assuming I’m ok.

Artie - There are two related recalls, one for a clip and one for a roll pin. I think you’re good on the clip, but not on the roll pin. Although the roll pin recall is much smaller in scope than the clip one. Here’s the actual release from FoMoCo:

Thanks guys!! I’ll run my VIN and see if I’m included.

This is another downside to buying new...

 

[Artie]

Ran my VIN and nothing came up, not sure if the have the VINs included in this yet as this article may just be the announcement.

I’m thinking the same thing as mine is clearly in the build window of the affected vehicles. The online tool says it may be delayed and whatnot so I think I’ll have to call the dealer or the mothership tomorrow to find out.

You do realize that cars of all year models get recalls all the time, correct?
We get it, you don’t like the new models, that’s no reason to ‘hope everyone has to deal with this’. This comment screams no class.

I’m honestly not bothered by this, my last car had a a few recalls over the 13 years I had it. Annoying? Yes. But it wasn’t long ago they wouldn’t even address stuff like this.
