Ford Advisory:
Ford will advise dealers that 2004 F250, F350, F450, F550, Econoline vans and Excursions may have defective 5R110 Torq-Shift transmissions. The transmissions may have low reverse gear set pinion shaft(s) that may walk out. Should this condition occur, metallic particles may contaminate the transmission leading to harsh/slipping conditions and or harsh/delayed forward/reverse engagements. If these symptoms occur and are ignored, the transmission may fail.
This advisory includes all products listed above that were built from 08 March 2004 through 24 June 2004.
Dealers are advised to, at no cost to consumers, replace the reverse planet assembly on all affected vehicles before sale to a consumer and repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealership, whether or not the consumer has received a letter from Ford or not.
If the transmissions are repaired in a timely manner, secondary transmission damage can be avoided.
This program will remain in effect to 30 September 2005.
