Some 2009-2012 Ford F-150 trucks built on or before 11-16-2011 may exhibit excessive effort with the gear selector in cold climate conditions. This may be caused by snow building up around the shift cable and lever.

Ford has released a new snow shield kit to cure this issue.

The shield kit is available under P/N AL3Z-7B147-A for 4x4 vehicles; and AL3Z-7B147-B for 4x2 vehicles.
