Delivery in UK is on hold. My new dark horse has been sat at dealers since new year. No date given for a fix as Ford UK currently saying they don’t have one. Ordered Feb 24! What a way to run a business.

No sign of a recall on my uk car (and was built during the time frame, although the numbers effected are pretty much the number built during the time frame) and plenty listed for sale on autotrader at present unless you're price locked find a new dealer,
they're probably down on there EV quota and don't want to pay the fine.
My dealer has never had a hold on my24 mustangs but then ford barely communicates anything with the uk or their dealers.

That’s interesting, I thought the regulations might be even stricter in UK

communication from Ford side has been terrible which makes the situation worse.

we in AU do not have an option to pick another car because only a limited number of Dark Horse were allocated which were sold out in advance. So we have choices but to wait for the car allocated to us by Ford if we want to be first owner. Otherwise pay higher price and buy a second hand vehicle, which beats the whole purpose of booking a car and waiting for over 2 years for a car.

I just received a notice in the mail that they have a software update available; at least here in Canada.

Have this scheduled for April when the Whipple goes in. Also going to get them to check the transmission fluid and top it as required.

Well the fix arrived here 2 weeks ago. Collected mine on Saturday and it’s all good. If it’s out here it should be available anywhere? Good luck all.

Took my car to the dealership saturday. Friday morning battery was dead. Can't say for sure how well the battery was the past few days because I remote started each time. Never a problem before. Battery was 2.7 volts.

Call the dealership today and they said the dash caused the battery to go dead. And they need the car a few extra days to get tools to perform the update...........

They are not replacing the battery, said it was good.......

A battery that has been discharged to 2.7 volts is likely damaged. It will take a long time to recharge from there (days) if you want it to be any good for any length of time. Maximum 1 amp charge rate or you just get a surface charge on the plates but not a deep charge.

I wonder why the bms didn’t disable the discharge.

btw: 2.7 volt battery is not good.
