I suspect that the issue only happened IF a previous update left a module "hung" in a state that didn't let it sleep. So it would result in a parasitic drain on the 12V AGM.
And the reason that replacing the battery on a towed to the dealership car seemed to be the fix is only because once the car battery was completely drained, and/or the hung module was powered down (reset), it was no longer a hung module?
Or put another way, if the vehicle with the hung module (after the suspect update) had just reset (Forscan, for example) the module, the lockout might never had occurred?
Pure conjecture, on my part. Admittedly. But experienced conjecture based on the Ford vehicles with OTA capabilities of the last 4 years.
I received the solution OTA yesterday on my 2023.5 GTPE. I was aware that it was a prime candidate for the lockout. I even unlatched the Frunk a few times, just in case. (rather than the string. I'm lazy?
But I really didn't believe that I would experience the lockout because I fuss with the car in Forscan/FDRS enough that my modules experience resets more often than most.
