It was so nice in the 90's and early 2000's when you could buy a car and drive it for three years without numerous recalls. When I turned the key, the dash immediately functioned and I didn't have to wait to download a spinning car.
My 2024 is 90% excellent and 10% JUNK!!!!!!!!!!!

I opened the Ford app today checking to see if I was going to get an alert about the window wiper issue and got this one.

Campaign:

26E04

Description

Powertrain control module software update
Has anyone had this one update over the air? My app shows I need it, ford.com does not. and Ford dealer says I do not need it, they said it was done over the air but when the app first told me about it, it wanted me to schedule.

I was at the dealership today. My app calls it out. The dealership service advisor is:

" Lost like a Fart in a Hurricane"

Not much help at all. I'll just wait for a letter in the mail.

My update notice also magically disappeared after my VIN was checked at the dealership.
I didn't check the app until later that evening..

Ours disappeared as well and we haven’t done anything other than drive to work and back.

I guess I’m not the only one then. I had the recall pop up and now it’s gone.

Reading all of your guys posts, I can't imagine how frustrating this has too be......

Ford across its lineup has had way too many recalls, but it seems this is a major trend and issue across ALL manufactures...... Even the ole stalwarts of reliability, Toyota, Subaru, Nissan and Honda, seem to have a different recall every week.........

It's one of the reasons I won't plop down $$$$$$ on a new or used C8.... I just don't trust all of the electronics on cars now days. The older I get, the more old school / analog I seem to get 😆

My recall disappeared from the app as well and it's not on the NHTSA either. The only recall I have listed is the BCM water intrusion one. I'm wondering if Ford decided to make this one an OTA?
