I have heard nothing yet from Ford. Heard, I think, Ford would start the fixing on May 15? Some of you, though, have heard already and had it done?

Had mine done by mobile on Monday. All seemed great. But when I plugged in my phone to use CarPlay, the song came on as usual. Went to go to next track, and the display showed the next song, but same one was still playing. Tried unplugging and re plugging it back in. Nope. So did hard reset of radio. Nothing. But everything had been perfect before the recall. So shut my phone off and restarted it. Problem solved. Has been fine since. But just coincidence?!!!! Hard to accept that

So I just had my first recall done on my 2024, took about 15 minutes I think. Had the truck updated by a local dealer... so far no problems. Anyone actually notice an issue with their tail lights?? I never even got so much as a notification about it from Ford, I found out about it through these forums. Once it was completed they cleared the Recall from my car on the NHTSA website and the Ford website so I guess everything's good lol. I always wondered what happens to those recall's once you fix them. I guess I'll update the thread if my Ecoboost spontaneously combusts like the Hybrids like to do.

My question is are there any idiot light that come up on the dash if your taillights are not working? How would you know?

I saw the recall notification in FordPass last week, and got the recall letter in the mail today. i have just over 1,000 miles on he truck and was already planning to take it to the dealer for the first oil change and to have the other fluid levels checked. So I'll have them take care of the tail light recall at the same time. I haven't noticed any issues with the tail lights, and the truck has been trouble free so far.

No, so the only light this recall affects are essentially just the running lights in the rear. The brake lights, reverse lights and turn signals are not affected. Although on the Maverick the brake lights, turn signals and running lights are all the same bulb, two on each side in the red part of the taillight housing. The light itself has two filaments; the brake light is its own filament and the running lights as the other filament doubles as a turn signal. When your car is on and running have a second person go to the rear and check to see if the running lights are working. They are always on as long as the car is on. They are different from the front running lights because the front running lights will turn off if the car is in Park. Their is no warning light if the lights aren’t working, you just have to check them every once in a while.

Bought truck two weeks ago, got letter today. Offered mobile but don’t mind taking it in for breakfast and a coffee and a wash. Besides, I like walking around a dealership. Next Tuesday. Let you know if it’s a problem.

I'm getting it done Friday afternoon. Exactly a week after ownership...

Well I got my recall notice today...so vote changed....barely a month old...lol

Hmm. I was never notified by Ford, but opened app today and clicked recall, and there it was.
I have done several forscan mods. Will this:

"Ford Motor Company has authorized your dealer to update the bcm software free of charge parts and labor."

affect the Forscan programming I have done?
TIA

If your Forscan changes were on the same module they are updating, then yes it will remove your Forscan programming.

Yea, I just called my dealer and they had a mobile tech come and update the car.

I have a piece of mail from Ford arriving today with a recall in it. Not sure which one it is for as I since have 2 outstanding yet only receiving the bulb not functioning recall
As for doing them I’m still on the fence if I’m going to complete them with all the horror stories after others have done them.
There is also another recall for the PCM which I have not seen yet.

Yea honestly I've only seen the recalls negatively affect the Hybrid's, Ford just released another Recall on May 3rd to fix the recall that was causing people problems. So far the Tail Light Recall has not caused me any problems in 1 week since the update.
