2016 FORD RANGER

Some 2015-2018 Ranger 4WD vehicles equipped with a 6R80 transmission may exhibit a slight shudder/vibration on take-off. This may be due to excessive drive shaft angles. A driveshaft angle measurement of both driveshafts should be performed

2009-2017 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 6R80, 6R100, 6R140 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAVE AN UPDATED MAIN CONTROL VALVE BODY OVERHAUL PROCEDURE. REFER TO WORKSHOP MANUAL (WSM), SECTION 307-01 FOR MAIN CONTROL VALVE BODY (7A100) OVERHAUL PROCEDURES.

In some of the affected vehicles, the front control/display interface module (FCDIM) may have been unintentionally programmed for the European market instead of the North American market
