Verizon "Hum"

I've been using the gen 1 Verizon Hum since it came out in 2015. First in my 2012 F150 and now in my 2018 F250 Lariet FX4. I had to update the device because of the Gen 3 sunset. Never had an issue. While looking up the operation of the new gen2 Hum x I came across several articles saying that the dongle that goes in the OBDII port causes the transmission TCM in some Fords to "fry". So I ask the experts. Have any of you who may use this device had any issues with it messing up your trucks? Thanks for your help.

I've never heard of the hum till I just looked it up. Seems to be a glorified code reader/ tracker.🤔

Almost like Ford pass?
