Since it doesn't have any number shown, no.

Well the wording on that doesn't match any of the previous OTA updates we've had, maybe they created a combined package for the later production runs to bring them up to where most of us are (hovering around Power-Up 1.6.0 and patiently waiting for 1.7.1) ?

I've gotten all the power up updates so far, with the exception of the latest 1.7.0. But last week I did receive an unamed update just like you've shown, and I assume this means some modules or software packages are being updated with pre-requisite dependencies prior to receiving the latest 1.7.0 power up.

One thing I also noticed was that in the 2 or 3 days leading up to that update, I had a number of instances of my center screen showing up black or extremely dim. A sync reset would resolve the issue, but on subsequent drives I would see it again. I've read numerous reports of this happening to others in the midst of incremental updates leading up to the latest power up. I can also say that after finally receiving notice of the unamed update my center display never went dark again, and actually sync feels snappier. The hardware screen brightness buttons also seem to control brightness on both displays, whereas previously I believe it only controlled the brightness for the small instrument cluster display brightness (correct me if I'm wrong here).

I believe the un-named OTA was an update purely to enable other OTA updates. (Sounds counter intuitive)
1.4.0 was the TCU update
1.6.0 was the GWM update
1.7.1 was the APIM update

and 1.8.0 which will be coming is an IPC update.

I think you are right. Ive had my car since august. Not a single update. I received this unnamed update a couple of weeks ago, and since then I've had PowerUp 1.4 and then a few days later 1.6, in quite quick succession

I alsoexperienced a strange screen yesterday a few times, but my screen looked like it was raining, lots of white marks moving down the screen. a sync reset got rid of it but came back when starting the car again. Today i recieved an update!!! (up date was for the ford pass app deep sleep problem)
