You can check if your VIN in under the recall

My 2013 F150 has the recall issue and has been performing the sudden downshift a lot….took it to the local sv center and they told me they can only do the recall fix if the wrench light is on. The light never comes on when it’s happening so they say I’m just stuck with it….excuse me? My truck basically locks up the rear brakes whenever it glitches and that has happened while doing 65 mph on the interstate. Not very fun…any suggestions?

It’s unfortunate 58 days have passed and no response to John Pelchat question. Only tells me how Ford feels towards brand loyal customers. In the mean time the 3.5 engine owners are still experiencing the side affects of the recall on a daily bases and hoping nothing catastrophic happens. Please follow up…….if not it’s just another reason to not purchase a Ford.

Given that this is a software fix, why is the necessary software not already developed and deployed for the 3.5 engine? It would seem the software patch should be developed relatively quickly and transmitted nearly instantaneously to all Ford service facilities.

Given it may be sometime between now and June 2019 before Ford service facilities may be provided the needed software, what are F150 operators expected to do in the interim? Are there reasonable prudent steps an owner should take?

It shouldn’t, I would have them try to reprogram all modules.
