Newb here. Can someone please decode the acronym HVBJB? I've searched the web and can't find out what all those letters stand for. Thank you.

I have GTPE, do I have one? sounds cool

I agree, data.

Clearly HVBJB happened, significantly.

My question is simple: for 2023 model year VINs, have there been failures? What would the data show us about estimated failure rates? Not as interested in pre-2023 VINs or what happened 11 months ago and the replacement parts in those - the fix could have been more complicated than the single part. I mean, it's fascinating reading, but selfishly for those thousands of '23 VIN cars on the road and my personal, that's the info I'm interested in.

We also have the rumor that GTs were effected to a greater extent. Splitting out the '23s from GT, AWD, RWD, might show difference that's significant.

My reading of all of those past threads was a change at the factory that was fully applied in 2023 MY cars. I had thought that had solved the problem, but I am willing to be informed otherwise.

If you have this data, or a known set of VINs, I'm absolutely willing to be proved wrong. Or would even be willing to DM and share dataset - I am not unsophisticated in data analysis. Not "happily" proved, of course, but it's better to be armed than unarmed.

2023 GTPE: Build date 6/5/23. Failed at 265 miles on the odometer. Just got it back from the shop.

That seems like a defect, and not the typical HVBJB failure, IMO.

Could be, but the outcome and recovery are the same. Same error codes and messages, same failed part.

The problem is that nobody outside of Ford has a reasonable handle on the data and they’re not sharing that data set. ??

As this forum might be the largest collection of owners, and the information was collected 11 months ago, I would expect if '23s are vulnerable, there would be reports here with VINs that could be looked up on FDRS by those who have accounts - with the notation that the HVBJB was at fault.

Just one verified HVBJB for a '23 would blow the idea that the problem is not an issue for '23's.

That counts in my book.

Unfortunately, there is:
