they should backup and save the old software set - that's pretty much the first step before modifying any software, that way if probs occur that might be new sf related they can put the old stuff back and see if the new probs go away.
2022 Mavericks manufactured before July 9, 2022 required replacement of the side curtain airbags as the installed parts did not meet federal test performance criteria.
Can you do the same for me? I had the software update done two weeks ago, the truck has been at the dealer since then waiting for a solution, and as of yesterday they still hadn't heard from Ford on how to fix it.
I still am worried about having my cluster and turn signal recall performed. Especially after hearing others having issues. If my cluster gives me a problem I will take it to the dealer. Mine is going on six months old with only 2300 miles on it. When I go in for my first oil change they will want to do the recalls. I will share my concerns about others on MTC having issues after recalls performed. I can bet they will say you can't believe what you read on this forum. I know my salesman didn't believe things I told him I learned here. Like the rebate on the bed rails if you got the spray in liner. Then he said oh here it is I didn't know that. I told him why would people lie about things. Especially if more than one person said the same thing.
Do the oil change on your own. If you can't, try your local jiffy lube (or equivalent). The dealer is obligated to do the recalls.
2024 and this country still has airbag after airbag issues with our vehicles. Federal government needs to impose heavy fines on companies and manufacturers with these defective bag recalls and maybe it will put an end to these constant problems. There is no excuse for defective or substandard airbags in a brand new vehicle. Just about every vehicle I have owned in the last 15 years has had airbag recalls and needed replacements,,,,,GT500, Civic, Crossfire, Escape etc...etc.
To add a little to the story. This truck was supposed to be a 22 but fell in that hole of not getting done so reworked order and got 23 but then figured out it wasn’t completely what was ask for so just this week my 24 Mav was built. Ooooo boy not sure how this gonna pan out. I would have thought that someone from Ford would have reached out but not as of yet. Another little surprise ordered another 24 Mav on top of others so that makes 3. This may be an ooo s… moment.
I am wondering if it is specific modules they are patching. If so, since it hasn't affected all hybrids, maybe the modules were built by different manufacturers or there was a slight change mid year in the production of the module. This will impact the firmware/software they are installing. 1 size doesn't necessarily fit all even if the part number is the same. We have had computers all the same model, year of production that have completely different drivers because one chip like the NIC may have been change ever so slightly.
