That might be the nicest thing anyone has said about me in years!

I have heard 'back in the old days.'
Sitting in the back of a station wagon with the window open inhaling carbon monoxide causes anger issues.

Did they have seatbelts, air bags, B/U cameras? Awe, 10,003.

I have heard carbon monoxide from sitting in the back of station wagons with the window open causes anger issues.

Hmm, possibly true, but my father never let me have the window open.

P.S.
I also remember Ford's having that funky... Two-way tailgate...
1) dropped-down 2) swung-out...

It was one the reasons tail pipes on station wagons, always opened on the side rear quarter panel instead of under the bumper.

Don't Remember, No and No...
I think that "10,003" is more like... 36,789....

It's been almost 6 months now since the back camera recall was announced and still no fix. 2024 Mavericks are piling up at the dealers because they can't sell them until the fix has been provided. Ford is taking it in the shorts. Do you think that all of this can be resolved by a simple firmware upgrade ? If it could, then it would have been resolved a long time ago.

that would be the logical conclusion, wouldn't it? On the other hand Farley and Co. continue losing billions on EVs with no end in sight, they don't seem to really care that their journey to nowhere has cost them over $25 Billion in losses over the last 6-7 years, they also have one of the worst track records in regards to their software engineering and their seemingly never ending alerts and 'future fixes' across all their product lines. No, it would not surprise me in the least that they took a lackadaisical approach to this problem and were caught off guard when they were slapped with that massive fine and 'no sale' demand. If the problem does end up being hardware then they and the vendor get to address the lack of proper thorough testing of the vendor product and its interaction with the vehicle. Why has it taken them more than 2 years to come up with a fix for their 'deep sleep' problem? Does it really take that long to diagnose a prevalent problem that can be reproduce by any of the thousands of cases out there? In that 80 percent + of the probs with the mav are software related, yes indeed I believe that their IT staff and upper management is the root cause of this.

Has anyone confirmed if the BCM module update is specific for the camera issue or is possible that THIS fix is to take care of the phantom battery drain issue.

Interested in killer deals on a new 24 but only if it has the battery fix + AGM battery + camera fix (i doubt it will get updated CV axles - so that's still a risk) - but if the deal is good enough we may get a 24 instead of the 25 XL that we've on order that will probably show up in 2 months or so.

Read a few posts prior to yours.

Ford waiting till end of the week to drop this latest bcm recall.

Very strategic.

 

[23grayXLT84]

This long rumored BCM update nothing else than < 2k units recalled to fix a previously fixed recall.

A recall for a recall.

Pathetic.

Still not updates to intermittent draw nor camera.

Build Ford rough.

You know when they say "the week of Feb 17th' it means late afternoon on Friday the 21st.

Yup, here's the new recall information
https://www.nhtsa.gov/?nhtsaId=25V094000

The Camera recall documentation was updated within the past couple weeks on the NHTSA site to say April, so still assuming that it will be April for that(april 1st or april 31st is the real question)

I saw some people here and reddit mention that their dealer called them beginning of the week to say that the camera recall fix is coming this week(one guy said 2 different dealers called him since he had a deposit on 2 Mavs), guess they got the same memo and really jumped the gun lol.
