Admin update:
There is a Demonstration / Delivery Hold on 2021 F-150's equipped with Blind Spot Monitoring.
From my dealer-Ford is not scheduling this week, therefore I will not receive a scheduling update this week.
I'm hoping they let the dealers fix this and not try and do it before they ship.

SUBJECT:

Certain 2021 Model Year F-150 Vehicles Equipped with Blind Spot Monitoring
Blind Spot Monitoring System Unresponsive
AFFECTED VEHICLES

Build Dates
F-150
2021
Dearborn
*January 8, 2020 through November 18, 2020
*Note: VINs are expected to be added over time affecting the build date range and FSA VIN lists.
Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM
NOTE: You are receiving this bulletin because your dealership has in stock, or will receive, an affected vehicle covered by this program.
For the affected vehicles, a customer will receive a warning message that there is a Blind Spot System Fault if this fault is present when the vehicle is started. The customer is required to press the OK button if he/she wishes to clear the warning and a persistent telltale will be present in the cluster. This failure mode will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) of U3000-49 and will disable vehicle features supported by the side radar such as the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), BLIS with Trailer Tow (BTT), Cross Traffic Alert (CTA), Rear Cross Traffic Braking (RCTB) & Lane [Centering] Aid (LTA) for the duration of the ignition cycle. A separate warning will be displayed for each function not working. Functions will recover on the next ignition cycle.
SERVICE ACTION
DO NOT DEMONSTRATE / DELIVER any new in-stock vehicles involved in this program. A complete Dealer Bulletin will be provided to affected dealers in the Fourth Quarter of 2020 when it is anticipated that repair instructions will be available to support this program.
OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner letters will not be mailed for this program.
QUESTIONS & ASSISTANCE
For questions and assistance, contact the Special Service Support Center (SSSC) via the SSSC Web Contact Site. The SSSC Web Contact Site can be accessed through the Professional Technician Society (PTS) website using the SSSC link listed at the bottom of the OASIS VIN report screen or listed under the SSSC tab.
