Description of the problem	My truck was part of ford's recall for the lead frame speed sensor. This is where the truck will down shift into first gear without warning. I got the pcm reprogrammed - which they considered a safety recall since it was supposed to keep the truck from downshifting if it lost the transmission speed reading. The warranty extension to replace parts was not considered a safety recall, but a customer satisfaction warranty extension - because the reprogram was supposedly going to cover the truly unsafe aspect by preventing a downshift. But that obviously didn't fix the issue. I think the parts replacement should have been a safety recall too (not subject to warranty limits). I had to replace the part because the warranty extension was only for 150,000 miles, my truck had 178,000 at the time of the failure. This repair cost me over 1200 dollars. They do a safety recall to reprogram, correctly say it's a safety issue. Then they come out and say oh, it works better if we replace the parts, but somehow get away with saying that not a safety issue, just offer a longer warranty? *js

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
