Ford Motor Company is ordering more than one million F-150 utes off the road due to transmission faults.
The auto giant issued the safety recall on Wednesday for 2011-13 Ford F-150 vehicles with 6-speed automatic transmission.
The trucks may experience a sudden shift into first gear which could cause a loss of control and risk of a crash, the company says.
Ford is aware of five reports of accidents, including one report of whiplash potentially related to the fault.
The action affects around 1.48 million vehicles in North America.
Affected 2011-13 F-150 vehicles were built at Dearborn Assembly Plant between April 28, 2010 to Octtober 28, 2013, and Kansas City Assembly Plant, May 18, 2010 to November 18, 2013.
