This 2018 FORD F-650 SD recall affects the POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION Manufactured by Ford Motor Company from 2017-04-25 through 2018-03-09

Description Of Defect

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2018 F-650 and F-750 vehicles equipped with 6-speed automatic transmissions and 2018 Ford F-150 and Expedition vehicles equipped with 10-speed automatic transmissions (excluding Expedition vehicles with a Rotary Gear Shift Dial on the console).
