Anyone know what this concerns? Saw this pop up this morning on the FordPass app. 2020 Expedition Platinum.

Same on my '19. So now we know it probably impacts '18-'21 at least.

Recall 24E13 Powertrain Control Module Reprogramming



I believe this recall involves reprogramming the PCM to prevent the transmission from unexpectedly downshifting to first gear (from a much higher gear), while the vehicle is being driving at higher speeds (potentially causing the rear wheels to lock-up and throw the vehicle into a skid).

So instead of repairing the cause (bad transmission) the put out a bandaid repair for one of the symptoms..

I have no control over Ford’s safety recalls - I was just trying to provide information.

Ford CEO Farley stated several years ago he was going to get a handle on the massive number of safety recalls and warranty repairs costs. I don’t think he has.

Understood and thank you for the info.
Agree that Farley isn't doing what he said he'd do. Betting his days are numbered.

Saw Ford document, this software update is to prevent a false error code indicating low functioning catalytic converter. Local Ford dealer just came to home with mobile service to update PCM software.
Now a wonder if the $ $1500 I paid to replace my bank 1 catalytic converter about 2 years ago (at 88k miles) was really needed.

This has happened to me probably 10+ times. Bought it brand new. Had to replace the catalytic converter in the 1st few months! Crazy!

I got a message from someone at my local dealer asking me when they could come by and do it in my driveway, would take less than an hour.
