Ford field service action number 21B10

[5280tunage]

Anyone else recently received this notification on the Ford pass app? It essentially says it's a recall, but it's claiming I need to have PCM reprogram for cam phaser rattle. But I just had the entire vct/phaser fix dinner about 1500 miles ago. One would think that would've been done during service right?

sounds to me like they’re trying a programming fix to eliminate the current repair method / surgery ($. )

ill bet they now make us do ONLY the software so it makes the “noise” less noticeable.

to that i say - what about the timing chains that get so loose @ or under 50k?

lame

Got the same message for my 2019 limited in the app

I got the same message for my 2019 XLT from the app

I did not receive the notification. I have a May 2019 build date. I’m guessing the people receiving the message have April 2019 or earlier build dates to match up with the cam phaser TSB.

I have a July 2019 build. I got the message.

I’ve got a January 2018 build and also got the alert. I’ve never had a cam phaser problem -knocks on wood- but perhaps this will help with my rattling waste gate...ha!

I have an August 19 build 2019 and got the message. So who’s the guinea pig in the group? I’m curious how this might impact my tune. Wondering if I’d need to get an updated one from 5 Star. I’ll be holding off until I know for sure...

I wish, Ford made my l service center do the VCT/phaser fix to try and fix the rattling wastegates, and of course it didn't help at all. I was pissed they would take apart my engine when the noise was coming from underneath the car.

Might be worth reaching out to 5star ahead of time, letting them know this is coming to see if they are concerned at all. My guess is this update and the tunes tweak different things and won't cause issues, but I could be wrong.
