FYI guys!

Ford recalls more than one million trucks

"Ford Econoline Vans from 2009 - 2016 may have a substandard weld in the transmission which can break."
Interesting, will have to investigate more! I wonder which transmission it is.

Apparently not as critical as one might think, sounds rather specific:

Ford is recalling approximately 4,300 2009 through 2016 Ford Econoline vehicles that have a 5R110W transmission, 5.4-liter engine, and a school bus or ambulance prep package.
According to Ford, the “affected vehicles contain a capacitive discharge weld within a coast clutch component in the transmission. A substandard weld may fatigue and fail, causing an elevated rate of reports of the loss of the ability to move in the subject vehicle applications.”
All normal engine, braking, and steering functionality is unaffected. Reports indicate that the majority of weld failures occur when torque is highest, which is when the driver attempts to accelerate from a stop.


Could apply to off road scenarios though if you have one of the specific types of trucks
