you’re right I misread the email from Ford. You just have until July 5 to enroll, no timeframe by when you need to complete the two DCFC sessions they request.

This is just me, so take it with a grain of salt, but you will not know if you have the fix until we see the communication from Ford to its dealers with instructions on what to do to fix particular trim levels. I think you aren't doing any harm by updating your car, but I don't think you'll...

Interesting decoder ring for the versioning schema they might be using. Still doesn't explain why the GT/GTPE software wasn't mentioned in the recall communication to NHTSA.

I'm not expecting Ford to issue more information because I posted here :-) I am just venting because I'm going to keep my rental car reservation for my road trip next week.

I would just like a little transparency on how Ford intends to fix this safety issue with my car so I can plan accordingly.

Hmmmmpft. This makes no sense. Either they neglected to put software versions with the fix for GTs in the recall notice, or ..... are they going to physically replace the part for GT models and not do it thru software?

So to summarize, your BECM was not updated (due to problems) and your SOBDMC was not updated to a version noted in the recall notice.

So far it appears that Job 1 cars have gotten the BECM version from the recall notice, but have not gotten the SOBDMC version in the recall notice. There's been only one Job 2 2022 GT that reported an update so far, and they got BECM and SOBDMC versions that are not mentioned in the recall...

oh well at least sounds like it is fixed. I don’t think your dealer installed the recall software which seems to have just popped up in FDRS today, however.

I'm mildly investigating a tow hitch just in case I might happen to fry the two-month old replacement HVBJB in my car that is not sufficiently "robust" in Ford's parlance. As far as I can tell, there is absolutely no "stealth"-like rear hitch receiver still for the MME which can be removed and...

So the power up ota mechanism will install earlier versions of software in a module over a newer version?! That’s some awesome “update” logic they have there.

some folks with FDRS subscriptions can also tell you the DTC reported by your car if you send them your vin. There’s a thread with people who volunteer to look such things up for you.

You need to ask your dealer to send you the DTC (Diagnostic Test Code) numbers they found from your car. That will let your buddies in this forum properly diagnose what problem struck your car.

i reposted think @Benjamin Kegele took photos also @MadManMoon did too. No one has taken anything of the new part.

We have photos of the old part, not of the new part to see what is different. At least I don’t remember any photos yet from someone who has gotten the new one. Perhaps @VegStang can try and get us some?

It would be dumb, but I’m sure we will know soon.

One has to wonder if they tested that car (just like some trims of the Mach-E). Bolts detaching after driving low mileage in the car?! That doesn't sound confidence-inspiring.

You mis-capitalized it. It's bZ4X :) Maybe they can do a paint recall and paint the fenders the same color as the rest of that car at the same time?

I bet it is of indefinite duration, and that's my feeling as well if it is. There are some interesting recent cases where material changes to the product were forced by the manufacturer via software. I hope I'm wrong in my pessimistic view.

Former practicing lawyer here -- what's your opinion on the potential exposure for another set of claims where the software mitigation here takes away performance (either in speed or charging time) that was claimed by the OEM and provided to the owner, especially on a performance model?
