New recall: Front Park Lamp Flicker (NHTSA # 22V686)

[Big Cam]

Because of this recall, my dealer would not let me have my truck. Build 7/22/22 just arrived in the dealership 11/01/22. The dealer tells me that they cannot deliver it to me until there is a resolution from Ford. Software update "should" be ready Jan 23. I ordered my truck 11/15/21. Already waited for a year, and am pissed that I have to wait more. The recall mentions that they have to reprogram or replace the module. If they don't have software, why don't they just replace the part? Any idea how I can accelerate me delivery?

That is the most ridiculous thing I've veer heard, if that was true, they'd have to come take all of our trucks away. WOW, I'm sorry you are going through that.

Any updates from the dealer for you?

Talked to the dealer today and still nothing. So frustrating that something they have known about since midsummer and is as simple as a firmware/software update is holding up thousands of trucks.

Well, todays the day, anyone know anything?

Dealer told me on Friday they are expecting guidance this week. Apparently the "manual" is what they are waiting on.

My dealer stated nothing from ford today

I just got off the phone with Ford. Guess what?! They know absolutely nothing. They talked to their "techs" that advised them to have me wait until February 1st to see if it has been fixed, or to call back. This is absolutely insane! I am ready to just walk away.

Don't tell me that its a SOFTWARE UPDATE and that it will be available in January 2023 but to wait until February 1st "to see if it is fixed".

@Ford Motor Company - surely someone knows something and can provide at least an update. This truck has been sitting for weeks over something silly. Am I going to get a $2500 rebate like the Bronco folks as well?

Been on the phone with Ford for almost two hours, have gotten pretty much nowhere. Its the principal of the matter to me at this point.

"No one knows when that fix is going to be released" doesn't sit well with me.

^ I completely agree. This is the closest thing I got to an awnser and I had to dig hard for this

 

[ashadkc9]

Ford just transferred me to the NHTSA hotline without asking because they wanted rid of me. WOW.

 

[ashadkc9]

Called back and now am being told that this recall has been pushed to March. Not totally sure that I believe that, but its the most information I have been given thus far.

I am hoping that the "parts" for the Bronco are the things that are going to be delayed until March and not the f-150 software update or I might go insane.

 

[Crobra92]

If that’s the case I’ll be canceling and going with the Silverado. A bit crazy and bull shit if that’s the case.
