Just took my Mach E in for a blown HVBJB today. I beat the rush on parts.
Ford BEV team made me an appointment Wednesday for mine, so I'm right there with you.

Once this recall is released, I wonder what that is going to do to the wait times at most dealers for EV work. I also wonder how many dealers will say, "We don't have the staff/tools" for the recall and advise going to another dealer.
I ran into this with my last car, for an airbag recall—I think they were hoarding the parts for used cars they wanted to sell. I ended up getting the helpful guy on the Ford recall hotline make the (Lincoln) dealer appointment for me. I just had to show up with the car. I hope the method works this time.

Another data point for 2022 built in April 2022 Select SR AWD not listed on recall at this time. I did however pay to have my HVBJB replaced in August 2022.

Our car is currently in the shop waiting for the EV tech to get around to installing our HVBJB. I really hope we don’t have to turn around and have the brand new part swapped out.

It could possibly be that the software cited in the recall isn't released yet and that's the remaining component of the recall that we don't have. Could also be that they just haven't updated the system yet with those who had the HVBJB replaced already. I don't know I'm just guessing.
I'm never been apart of a recall like this where I've had the part replaced that's listed under the recall. I would imagine Ford would find a way to filter those of us out, but who knows.

Could these be even newer designed parts than previously used for replacement? That might make sense if it applies to those who have already had replacement.

I notice the statement on the website under Remedy that indicates the parts are not yet available:
Ford Mustang Mach-E High Voltage Battery Junction Box (HVBJB) Replacement Recall for  recall HVBJB in 30,013 Mach-E 1697497662624

Likely not otherwise it wouldn't be isolated to vehicles before May 24, 2022, it would be on all of them.

New advanced notice to recall HVBJB in 30,013 Mach-Es

looks like a 'refined' software warning patch to catch failures more gracefully for any in the original group that have not failed yet. Probably just trying to catch vehicles as they are bought/sold/or come in for maintenance.

It's not just for ER and GT, it's just pointing out that a previous fix may not have detected the damage correctly.
If they think the previous fix was only ineffective on ER models, I suspect those will be the only models included in the new recall.

If they’re doing this recall because the NHTSA is on their case about vehicles losing motive power despite having the recall software update, I could see them only including cars that were included in the first recall and maintaining their “replace it when it fails” strategy for newer cars.

Yes but that date is the official date when the vehicles started getting equipped with the new HVBJB. So that date has a lot of significance. It's not just some random date when they issued a recall or started installing software. There was a hardware change that occurred on the assembly line on that date.

Not sure that's correct. Between the first MachE sold and May of 2022 they sold 43,580 units, but only 30k are being recalled. That leads me to believe that the 13k excluded are SR units.
