I had my 2021 Job 1 Mach-e in storage for the past 3 months. During this time, I did not turn on "allow automatic updates". I did receive a couple of "updates available" messages on the Ford Pass app. Now that I'm back, the message are gone from Ford Pass and the car shows that the car software is up-to-date. The car did not receive any updates. I believe the last update received was 4.1.1.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can get Ford to resend the updates? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Drive the car every day or two and the OTAs should start up again within a week.

Turn on "allow automatic updates", set a daily update time, drive the car, and be patient.

To get this done faster, you could try getting it updated via an FDRS license and Mongoose/similar device. Maybe someone local could help out. There's a thread where folks have volunteered.
