Is your FE bricked from the recall? Do dealers have a fix at this point?

They won’t do the recall unless the car is broken with this issue. Then again it’s not even the recall they’d just put the new part in.

Thanks, but the linked article explains why this is a complex problem. I do believe we will all be fine in the end.

Good for you. Positivity is important. I kind of believe it too, but probably for different reasons. I don't discard class action lawsuits. It all depends on what this update does to car's performance.
I might be in an even better position than most, since my car is not yet built, although in production since 5/30.

New as in the new part number, or new unit of the old part number?
And how do you know this?

My apologies if this has been addressed already, but there is no way I can read through 75 pages of posts.

Can someone tell me if the NHTSA has been notified of all affected VINs yet? As of today my 5/25 build date car still shows no recalls, so I'm curious if its too soon to get my hopes up.

Your dealership is awful.

Is this the GM? Head of Service? Or the lowly sales grunt you're buying from.

I bet we're going to see some really dirty stuff coming from dealers trying to make people abandon their orders.

Now they tell me they have no fix

Not bricked. It's running well with no issues. I called them and they said, sorry no fix yet.

I called them and they said there is no fix yet. At least I found out my car is on the affected list...

I would be slightly annoyed that you just said I have nothing of value to contribute, but I’m just here to learn about yearly quarters and to wonder when Job 1 cars will get the frunk button.

Plus now that @1969Mach1Mike had to ruin my personal game of trying to come up with the craziest thing that WOT could stand for I think I’m done.

You can look up module versions in the iOS Widget if you don't have FDRS.

So, I finally got the version numbers for mine.

BECM is LK98-14C197-CF
SOBDMC is LK98-14G069-CL

Those version numbers don't appear in the NHTSA pdf as either affected or remedy. Those versions were applied on 5/27, 2 days after the NHTSA pdf says remedy versions were "introduced into production."

What do you all think that means?

PLEASE NOTE:
Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is
delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in
a civil penalty of up to $21,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle
inventory prior to delivery.

from the recall memo

So a dealer asking 25K ADM could still sell the car and make a good profit.

We still got a long ways to go on this thread. The 2.7 ecoboost engine failures in the new bronco thread over at Bronco6g is already up to 262 pages.
