There have been at least a few and maybe several on this forum in various threads. Seems the threshold for reported failure is higher than just waiting for it to fail, assuming it ever would.
Not a single GT owner has reported getting the recall OTA'd yet in the Poll. Coincidence? Seems like they should be first in line.
Drove around a bit last night to try to get the OTA to pull down. Before I got out of the neighborhood, got the checkmark with no info when tapped. Drove ~20 miles/30 minutes through local roads including a downtown area, no recall OTA yet as of this morning.
I imagine that "Secure the Vehicle" means to park it and stop using it. Lock the doors etc. There are a bunch of things that will prohibit the update from installing. Pressing the brake pedal, etc etc etc. There is giant list somewhere. Let me see if I can find it.....
Greg, I read the service manual entry more closely and noticed that the list of conditions are more or less examples of the sorts of things that can prevent an update from installing. So I thought it was inaccurate this whole time (my vehicle doesn't have an engine, ignition, or 4x4), but I was just reading too much into it.Someone at Ford had a sense of humor when they assembled the workshop manual. There is quite a bit of misinformation found in them there pages. Keeps the competition on their toes.
FDRS updates go through a largely different packaging, workflow, and communication path than OTA updates. But yes, I'm sure there are some details that will end up matching up here and there.
Now that’s interesting. I wonder why they would be holding it back for GTs. Maybe they’re seeing it flag the Service Vehicle Soon message immediately (like what we saw with the software flashers here) and are trying to figure out if they recall the GTs AGAIN but for hardware. Or…they limit power in a different way on the GTs
That's great news, I was wondering if the brake changes affected regen/1PD - I'll check it out today.
GT's were among the first to get Blue Cruise, and the last (if at all) to get everything else since. Just the way it is.Now that’s interesting. I wonder why they would be holding it back for GTs.

It's a requirement to have Power-Up 2.8.3 in order to get the recall OTA. So that's likely the reason. I actually have the recall pending on my car. I just haven't installed it.
Interesting, so since my GT has 2.8.3 already I *should* be getting the recall OTA any day now, it seems.It's a requirement to have Power-Up 2.8.3 in order to get the recall OTA. So that's likely the reason. I actually have the recall pending on my car. I just haven't installed it.
OTAs seemed to have been on a pause for a few weeks and from what I gather they have resumed. So yes, you should be getting it "soon".
