This one I assume ?
Depending on your vehicle and recall campaign, the free dealer updates address issues ranging from transmission unexpectedly downshifting and unexpected vehicle rollaways, to trailer brake failures. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
The PCM update recalls affect several major models. The most notable actions include: []

1. 2026 Transmission Rollaway Recall (Campaign 26V237 / 26E04)

• Vehicles Affected: Over 741,000 vehicles, including various models like the 2025-2026 Maverick, F-150, and other Ford/Lincoln SUVs.
• The Issue: The PCM calibration can cause a delay in detecting certain faults, potentially causing the transmission to engage in a way that allows the vehicle to roll away while in "Park".
• The Remedy: Dealers will update the PCM software and inspect/replace any damaged transmission components for free. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

2. Sudden Downshift Recall (Transport Canada 2026189 / NHTSA equivalents)

• Vehicles Affected: Certain trucks equipped with 6-speed transmissions.
• The Issue: A software problem can suddenly downshift the transmission into second gear, leading to a loss of control.
• The Remedy: Dealers will reflash and update the PCM software so the computer responds safely to signal issues. [1, 2]

No. Completely unrelated.

They don't always update at the same time.
