Is anyone else experiencing their alarm going off with false activations? I’m fully updated through FDRS and it will go off a few times a week if I don’t manually disable the motion sensors when exiting the vehicle.

It’s a 21 powerboost if that matters. If anyone has any recommendations me (and my neighbors) would be grateful!

had same problem with my 2019-though mine always said hood was what triggered my alarm.. Fairly common issue. I also got hood ajar notice while driving. The fix was replacing the hood lock mechanism.

My software is already up to date. I was hoping this would solve my issue, but it didn't help.

Labs4Lightning, I haven't received any hood open alerts although I'll try opening and shutting to see if it changes anything.

My dealership hasn't been able to diagnose and it's frustrating turning motion sensors off every time I get in so I was hoping someone else encountered this issue post TSB and had a solution.

Your BCM is up to date and the alarm trigger notification on FordPass says it detected motion ?

BCM is up to date. The alert I got was vehicle intrusion. Happens whether it’s parked outside or in a garage 2-3 times a week

This may sound crazy but..... The front range of Colorado has a major moth migration every spring. A couple years back the alarm on my 2015 went off 3 times in one night. The first two times I used the fob to shut it off. Last time I went to the truck and opened the door, as I did a moth flew out. Never had the problem again. The motion detectors are very sensitive.

Yes, your issue is different. I received “hood open triggered alarm” or something like that..

If the update didn't fix my issue my next step was to cover the interior motion sensor vs. having to turn it off after every drive.

Hi there! Would you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership name and location? I’d like to look into this concern on my end.
