How long ago was your update done? I'm see it take as long as over 3 months for the breakdowns to happen.
Not it.
I took my 2023 Maverick Hybrid, for Its first oil change last month 03/2024. While it was at the dealer I asked for the blinker bulb recall to be performed. The dealer called two days later and said the update failed and could not get any thing to work. No Dash, or Start cant even roll up the drivers window. See attached picture they had to put it on roller skates to move it around. Some module was to be replaced and reportedly on order, with an unknown delevery date. Three weeks later I get a call that all was ready..... the tech finally figured out somthing to reboot the computer. I have the truck back and the oil was changed, no charge.... but the recall is still pending, and unfinished. I am very leary of any updates if the system can brick the truck that easily.. Has this been dicsussed on this fourm?Another recall, this one for tail lights. https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/ford-recalls-maverick-pickups-us-tail-lights-dark-109822246

Exactly at my work it's pretty much known that if you find a problem it will then be given to you to fix it. So the less savory the issue is the more likely someone is to pretend they don't see it IMHO.
You do realize both Honda and Toyota have undergone their fair share of recalls.
Just saying, but I'd go over your body work for dents real good. Depending where they decide to push from, might leave you with a mild dent.I took my 2023 Maverick Hybrid, for Its first oil change last month 03/2024.

I'm not THAT draconian.
Had mine since day 1 still going stronghaha Skipping 4 pages of comments- cue the "mY LaSfIt LiGhTs DoNt WoRk rIgHt" issues?.....
Yes. At this point the best advice you will get is that if you don't have a problem, skip the recall work. Sad state that it's come to. Especially considering that issue could pop up later on and once the truck is out of warranty, people are screwed. So it's either have it done and hope it doesn't brick your vehicle stranding you for who knows how long, or don't have it done.
Tesla "recalls: are done OTA..unless it's something like the accelerator pedal needing 1 screw.
