Got a TSB in the mail or Recall. On my 2011 EB. Basically it talks about how the transmission might shift into gear without the parking break being pressed down. Dont have the number on me right now. My truck was built this September so probably one of the last of 2011.

 

You need to provide more info than that.....

 

Seems pretty cut and dry but here you go

2011 Ford F-150 Power Train Recall 11V582000
NHTSA: Action Number: N/A Service Bulletin Number: 11V582000

Report Date:
Dec 08, 2011Component:
Power TrainPotential Units Affected:
16091Manufacturer:
Ford Motor Company


Summary: Ford is recalling certain model year 2011 f-150 vehicles manufactured from september 9, 2011, through september 22, 2011, and model year 2012 f-250, f-350, f-450 and f-550 heavy duty vehicles manufactured from september 12, 2011, through september 22, 2011. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard number 114, ¿theft protection. ¿ the transmission can be shifted out of the park position without pressing the brake pedal due to brake shift interlock switch problem.



Consequence: This will allow the operator to inadvertently shift the vehicle into gear without the brake pedal being depressed, increasing the risk of a crash or injury to a nearby pedestrian.



Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake shift interlock switch function and replace the switch if necessary, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about december 19, 2011. Owners may contact the ford motor company customer relationship center at 1-866-436-7332.

 

Thanks.....its a recall

 

I can see how that may be an issue.

Easy remedy for that. Don't leave kid's in the vehicle unattended and don't move the shift lever until your foot is on the brake.

 

I think its a theft thing too. Because if you dont have to push the break you could roll it away

 

Long live the manual transmission and not having to deal with this crap

Good to hear its only a small number of units affected.

 

Yeah I had a late production vehicle for 2011 and looks like its the last batch. I dont have the issue as far as I know.

 

Gee - what did we all do in the old days before the mandated safety switch?

 

My EcoBoost was built in September and I received the recall. I was at the dealer today and they did not find any problems. I was only there for about 15 minutes.
