2014 Ford F-150 recalls
NHTSA lists 8 recall campaigns for the 2014 Ford F-150.
The most recent, campaign 26V378000 from June 2026, concerns power train.
Hydraulic service brakes account for 3 of the 8 campaigns, more than any other area.
26V378000 · June 9, 2026 · Power train
Problem: A loss of signal between the transmission output shaft speed sensor and the powertrain control module (PCM) can cause the transmission to unexpectedly downshift into first gear.
Risk: Unexpectedly downshifting into first gear may result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will update the PCM software, free of charge.
24V444000 · June 17, 2024 · Power train
Problem: A loss of signal between the transmission output shaft speed sensor and the powertrain control module can cause the transmission to unexpectedly downshift into first gear, regardless of vehicle speed.
Risk: Unexpectedly downshifting into first gear may result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will update the powertrain control module software, free of charge.
17V472000 · July 25, 2017 · Seats, Seat belts
Problem: Improperly manufactured bolts may have been used to install certain seats, seatbacks, seatbelt buckles, or seatbelt anchors on these vehicles.
Risk: The improperly manufactured bolts may fracture.
Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected bolts, free of charge.
14V710000 · November 7, 2014 · Seats
Problem: 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.
Risk: 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.
Remedy: 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.
14V709000 · November 5, 2014 · Exterior lighting, Hydraulic service brakes
Problem: 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.
Risk: If the brake lights fail to illuminate, or illuminate after a delay, there is an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy: Ford has notified owners, and dealers will adjust the brake pedal position switch, free of charge.
14V316000 · June 12, 2014 · Steering
Problem: 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.
Risk: A loss of steering control while driving increases the risk of a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the EPAS steering gear, free of charge.
