To summarize this one, a small number of vehicles (234) were not correctly updated with the 22S41 recall software that helps prevent HVBJB failures. These vehicles will need to visit a dealer to get their powertrain software updated with FDRS to the correct/latest version. It appears the cause...

Well this is an interesting one. Some vehicles may experienced unintended or "phantom" braking using adaptive cruise control or BlueCruise when there are no cars in front of you. This may be due to unwanted radar sidelobe reflections hitting the front bumper which is positioned directly behind...

CMDTC U2016:47 Stored In The PSCM Without Observable Symptoms Some 2021-2024 Mustang Mach-E and 2023-2025 Escape/Corsair vehicles may exhibit only continuous memory diagnostic trouble code (CMDTC) U2016:47 stored in the power steering control module (PSCM) after a self test is performed with...

I’m pleased to report that the threshold for automatic 12V recharge has been increased to 55% in the latest BCM software! This is a much-awaited improvement that will ensure the battery remains charged, healthy, and prevents it from running low or freezing in extremely cold conditions. The...

Just a heads up, I’ve confirmed quite a few cases of original HVBJBs failing in the past week. The cold weather tends to make the contactors stick more. If you own a 2021 or 2022 vehicle with the original HVBJB and haven’t taken it in for the 23S56 HVBJB replacement recall, you should do so...

Information on the new heat pump has now been published. It is a vapor injection heat pump which means it's capable of operating at low ambient conditions. In short, the new heat pump system is very complicated. It can operate in 8 different modes. You have to marvel at the complexity—they...

Since Ford still doesn't have a dang battery precondition button...I had a hunch. For those of you with the remote climate control settings showing up in FordPass, there is a way to use the remote controls to heat the battery. The car must be plugged in and parked in below-freezing conditions...

Curious how many of you have run into this. I have a small scratch on my door from a rock I wanted fixed. My insurance has already quoted it. I called a body shop, gave them my vehicle type, and they scheduled my appointment and everything. Today I get a call back: “Oh, the computer says we...

Perhaps some of you have noticed the increased propensity for BlueCruise 1.3 to cut out and refuse lane centering in the rain (compared to BC 1.0). I sure have. Basically it becomes quite sensitive to small lane centering errors, and will cut out frequently (“Cancelled” ding) when the wipers are...

An issue with the braking software has been identified in a small number (50) of 2021 Mach-E vehicles. In the affected vehicles, customers may experience a lack of power assist braking. Vehicle stability control features, (including anti-lock braking, Electronic Stability Control, and Traction...

Here are some interior shots from the press footage showing some of the new features, in particular a totally new instrument cluster UI with new fonts. Looks like the power/regen meter will always be shown in the right side. Speedometer will be slightly offset to the right, which should help...

The new Stingray Karaoke app just showed up on my screen last night, so I decided to give it a try. I'm going to apologize in advance for the crappy photos. You need to be connected to WiFi or have the premium connectivity plan (it works just like YouTube). Homepage has a section of popular...

Beosonic is sort of graphic equalizer that allows you to adjust the tonal quality of the sound to your liking. It's much better than the standard 3-band EQ (bass, mid, treble) that Ford gives by default and allows you to dial in the tonality with greater precision. It debuted on 2024 Mach-E's...

I’m not sure when this changed (EDIT: requires 10.1.0 OTA), but the Public Charging app (formerly known as Charge Assist) now works while driving! 🎉 :clap: This makes the app finally useful! For those who don’t know, the Public Charging app is the easiest way to find nearby chargers and check...

New EV Owners in Utter Panic as Range Mysteriously Drops With Fall Temperatures, Veteran Drivers Roll Eyes in Unison DETROIT, MI—As autumn’s crisp chill sweeps across the nation, a peculiar phenomenon has begun to re-emerge—hundreds of new electric vehicle (EV) owners are frantically flocking...

On some 2023-2024 Mach-E's built from Nov 22 2023 to Feb 7 2024, the tire sealant bottle may not properly release tire sealant when used to repair a flat tire. (The air pump will still work.) Dealers will inspect the PO number on the bottom of the tire inflator, and if it's match, they will...

Finally, Ford is implementing a 12V battery health monitor that will trigger an alert in FordPass when the 12V battery needs replacement. Based on connected vehicle health data, the owner will receive a "Check 12-volt Battery" message in FordPass instructing them to visit their dealer to have...

A customer satisfaction program (CSP) has been released for a small number (276) of 2021-2022 vehicles with incorrect applied thermal interface material (TIM, AKA thermal paste) due to an incorrect template that was sent out to Ford dealers. This only affects vehicles where a battery module has...
