Ford Mobile Service unit doing the recall updates this time!

[BostonFordFan]

After too many visits to the dealers for recall software updates, I had Ford send a mobile unit. He is doing the 2 latest updates right now. If all goes well, this should conclude all of the recalls. The "fire under the hood" one is a cheap fix for ford so will see if there is another one later involving replacing the engine block which is what should happen. This mobile unit is much easier than sitting with the car and wasting half of my day. I was told the car will need to recalibrate everything once the fix is done to relearn driving habits, etc. Fingers crossed .

Looks like the now mandatory connection to an alternate power source is the cure for the first round of botched recall services on the Hybrid.

I guess. Good thing it also confirmed how to hook up the jumper cables to a hybrid maverick. I had Youtube'd it so i knew but was good to see in action. They use a special one that has a safety surfer on the end. Funky.

I see they did it right. The dealer I went to for previous updates also connected an external power source, to prevent BMS from botching the update.

Unfortunately, Ford has told dealers and technicians to hook up a charger for YEARS, but you need to READ and DO what they say, to avoid problems...

Had 4 software updates done in my driveway last week..No alternate power source was attached to my truck..All went well.

Was a totally different experience had going to dealer and waiting for them to do it. Hopefully that's it for recalls....for now!
