2014 Ford F-150 Problems

A signal loss between the transmission speed sensor and the powertrain control module can make the transmission suddenly drop into first gear. This can cause a loss of vehicle control and raise the risk of a crash.

Fix: The dealer will update the powertrain control module software at no cost to you.

5L Ecoboost engines. The brake master cylinder may leak brake fluid into the brake booster. A loss of brake fluid may result in a change in brake pedal travel and feel, increased pedal effort and reduced front brake function, possibly requiring greater effort and distance to stop the vehicle. These conditions can increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake master cylinder and inspect the brake booster, replacing it as necessary, free of charge.

Some seats, seatbacks, seatbelt buckles, or seatbelt anchors may be held in place by improperly made bolts that can break. If a bolt fractures, the part may not be secured properly, which raises the chance of injury in a crash.

Fix: The dealer will replace the affected bolts free of charge once remedy parts are available, and Ford will notify you by mail when that happens.

5L engines. The master cylinder rear cup seal may roll, resulting in brake fluid leakage from the primary reservoir into the brake booster. Loss of brake fluid from the primary reservoir results in a complete loss of front brake function, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake master cylinder and, if necessary, the brake booster, free of charge.

The affected vehicles were manufactured with a reduced clearance between the seat frame and the seat track assembly. This can cause the Occupant Classification System (OCS) to inaccurately register passenger weight and improperly suppress the passenger front airbag when the passenger seat is occupied by an adult passenger. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208, "Occupant Crash Protection." Improper suppression of the passenger airbag increases the risk of an injury to the seat occupant in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front passenger airbag.

Fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will widen the gap between the seat frame and seat track assembly and recalibrate the seat OCS, free of charge.

The affected vehicles may have a brake pedal position switch that is improperly adjusted. As a result, the brake lights may illuminate with a delay or not at all. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." If the brake lights fail to illuminate, or illuminate after a delay, there is an increased risk of a crash.

Fix: Ford has notified owners, and dealers will adjust the brake pedal position switch, free of charge. Note: Until the vehicle has been remedied, owners are advised not to use their cruise control system.

The affected vehicles may have an incorrectly installed EPAS gear motor position sensor magnet that can lead to a total loss of steering control while driving. A loss of steering control while driving increases the risk of a vehicle crash.

Fix: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the EPAS steering gear, free of charge. Note: Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until they have been remedied.
