Official summary
Some 2018 F-Super Duty vehicles built on 29-Jan-2018 and through 24-Jul-2018 equipped with a 6R140 automatic transmission may experience a howl, flutter and/or whine noise typically in 4th and/or 6th gear that appears to be coming from under the dash near the right side of the steering column. This may be due to noise transferring through the shift cable into the vehicle. Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
