"Up to" 150kw. Always be wary of that old advertising trick. Also, I think it is the battery itself that may be the bottleneck, not necessarily the other components.
Let’s hope so!
Yep! It’s the cost of the recall and in particular the multiplier which is the focus, not what should be done to be right??

Yeah, you’re lucky in the US, you got the VDO & NHTSA who have balls, the fight, the authority and aren’t afraid to use it, all we have in the UK is a meely mouthed bunch of pension builders in DVSA who have no balls, no fight, sh*t scared of contention, are swayed by a jolly to a factory in a foreign land and just seemingly rubber stamp what manufacturers say they’re prepared to do!
Thanks, and here is the text describing the actual investigation. Note, the article doesn't really get it right. The covered vehicles (cars produced until May 24, 2022) received the software update as the recall remedy. The HVBJB wasn't replaced on the recalled vehicles, but only on the vehicles on which it actually failed. Presumably the NTSB will now be determining if the HVBJB should be replaced proactively on all of the recalled cars.
The language of the actual investigation cites a production run period, not a model year. The writer of the article got it wrong.
No, the article doesn't speak to a model year at all. As I said previously, the 2022 year is regarding the year that the recall was issued. It's not the model year at all and no where does it say that.
I wouldn't worry. The obvious starting point of the investigation are the cars with the initial revision of the HVBJB. But as the investigation proceeds it's trivial to expand it to additional cars.
Interesting, I hadn't seen that. While that may be true, I remember seeing tear downs of the second generation HVBJB and photos that show it had slightly beefier components. Has anyone posted a teardown of the third model number to verify whether it has any significant changes over the second?
Just a review of the effectiveness of the recall. I am not going to review all of the complaints but if they all resulted in SVS then it will probably be found to be effective as that is what the recall was designed to do. If complainants all had SSN then I would think it may be found to be not effective. It does not appear, at least to me, that this will have any affect on the HVBJB itself.
I am not sure this is accurate. I think there were two part numbers for the revised edition - one for GT’s and one for non-GT’s but I may have that wrong.
It's worth noting that the 12 cited are just a handful of the reports they are investigating. The number of SVS to SSN is about 50/50 post recall. Ford also has reported about 150 mfg communications regarding HVBJB failures. NHTSA investigators were contacting people outside of the 12 reported incidents listed. The 12 consumer complaints are just what fired off the renewed investigation from my understanding.
Point taken, but the post I was responding to suggests how it's easy to interpret the article to mean that the recall applied to the 2022 model year, because it doesn't cite the language in the investigation that clarifies the run of cars included.
