FSA 21B69 High Voltage Battery Module Unsealing

[kenchar]

Just showed up in my Ford Pass. 21B69

Note that I am in Canada so not sure if this is for the US as well.

Any details?

Whoa...huh? Like...there's a sensor that's monitoring pressure inside the battery?

Sounds like you’re in the best position to provide more details. Can you post a screenshot?

Screen shot of the notice in the app. Fix is not yet published. Apparently some high voltage battery modules may not have been properly sealed. (According to the dealer.)

Maybe one of our friends with FDRS access can poke around?

Nothing on the NHTSA site yet. No results from a Google search either.

Looks like it's limited to about 80 2021 MMEs built between the dates Aug 10, 2021 through Sept 27, 2021.

In all of the affected vehicles, incomplete sealing of certain high voltage battery modules may have occurred during the manufacturing process. An improperly sealed high voltage battery module could result in an electrolyte leak from the suspect battery module(s), resulting in an isolation fault or low battery module voltage condition, which may lead to an interruption of drivability.

Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of February 14, 2022.

Impacted vehicles need either one or two HVB modules replaced. There's a list detailing which VINs and modules are affected.

Looks like it's limited to about 90 2021 MMEs built between the dates Aug 10, 2021 through Sept 27, 2021.

My GT was built in that time frame. Is that 90 units all that was built in that time? Or is there a certain subset of cars from that time?

Happy Valentine's Day from Ford
P.S. your battery may be leaking

Thanks for the info hybrid2bev. Guess I should buy a lottery ticket.

I would assume that only cars that are affected would get the notification in the Ford Pass app.

Purely a guess but I would think they would have made more than 90 vehicles during that time frame. I haven't tracked the production volume since mine was built over a year ago.

Mine was also built within that time frame. 9/21

I would think so too.

It could have been one bad batch of batteries that got installed over that time frame, which is why its not all cars built in that time.
