My 23B50 saga!

[Elmst-e]

I got the Oct. 23 letter outlining the 23B50 update and it appeared the thing to do was wait for an OTA to install. I received 2 power-up downloads over the next few weeks including 6.6. Looking at the forum, it appeared that 6.6 included the 23B50 update, however I just did not think the download had been long enough to include it. A few weeks later, I had my F-150 in for service and I asked the Ford service tech if she could check if I had, in fact, received the update. She looked and said yes, it had been installed. I still did’nt feel I had gotten the download but must admit by then I was just trying to shovel 6” of snow and dealing with 10 degree temps! Then 2 days ago I received an e-mail from Ford alerting me that 23B50 had not been installed and it was important for me to have it done.
I do not obsess over updates but this seems apretty important thing since I will be doing DCFC charging in a couple of months.
In the car went yesterday. It received 23B50 and ABS, PCM, SOBCMB, SOBDMC and BECM updates. The service tech said it had not been updated and I have no idea what any of that stuff is, but I certainly had a warm, fuzzy feeling driving home!
I guess my point is, it is a little frustrating trying to get the proper info and shows I should have been more diligent, so I thought I’d pass this along as I’m sure others have the same situtation.

I had the 23B50 update done on 1/5/24, along with the 22S41 and the windshield reseal. 3 weeks later my home charge cable wouldn't disconnect and I had to get towed to the dealer, where they did the 23B50 again. I guess I was lucky it happened at home and not on the road.

How did they disconnect the charge cable to allow it to be towed? Was the charger not hard wired?

I just got that letter. Not sure which update included that or how to find out. ??‍

What I found on this forum was 6.6 had the update. But ,in my case ,it did not. My dealer said I had the update, but I found later I did not, point being, I don’t know how you find out if you have the update if you’re just an average person. Ford’s email finally convinced me I did not have the update, rather frustrating. I simply should have taken the car in, checked, and had it done. Seems like an important update.

Not hard wired.
