22E04 recall

Got this on my FordPass also. Be nice to know the background of it.

 

I just checked mine yesterday and I have it too. Trans runs fine for me and I am at 51K miles without any issues.

 

Got a recall notice in mail for emissions. My 2022 has 81k on it, regens every 500 miles and is averaging 17.6 mpg. Not getting recall done. Probably want to tighten emission output, no cares. First 6.7 that only regen’ d on the 500 mile mark and love it. All others ranged from 150-350 miles between and it sucked the mpg’s down bad.

 

What is…. “Emissions” 😏. Give the 6.7 what it wants. Let it breathe!

 

I just received the notification in the mail today, myself. Appears that the NOx sensor preheat is not being turned on, and needs to be. If it fails, then MIL will trip, and it'll have to be replaced, apparently.

They state in two places (if you do not have this reprogramming done): "Your emissions warranty may be reduced", and "Failure to do so could be determined as lack of proper maintenance of your vehicle" (an implied threat to possible further impact to warranty?).

Hmm, gonna have to check to see if I'm still under emissions warranty, with 41K on the clock. If not, then I'll have to weigh whether it's worth the hassle. And, if I do end up taking it in, I'll damn sure back up all my mods made with Forscan beforehand...

 

Update: Scheduled a mobile technician visit from the dealership, and the flash was done at home yesterday afternoon. He used FDRS to flash the PCM and TCM modules. Any Body-CM (or other non-PCM/TCM) settings that I previously modified using ForScan were not affected. Tire circumference didn't appear to be affected, based upon my GPS speed comparison this morning, but my ability to modulate DPF regens was. Since that feature required a change in the IPS module to enable the instrument panel option and the PCM (or was it in TCM?) option to choose the second option to allow it, that feature got overwritten with the flash. So, I'll have to go back into ForScan to reenable that feature. So, be warned if you've modified modules in either the PCM or TCM, as you'll need to review and reset those features in those modules, as the flash performed is not just one or two features but a sledgehammer replacement of what's present. Fortunately, I have backups from my last modifications, so it will be interesting to see what exactly changed when I compare the current PCM and TCM flash with my backups.

As a side note, the mobile tech was not informed regarding ForScan and its use. While he was flashing the modules we had a good conversation about my truck and its features (he was impressed with the SD's abilities, compared to an F-150 he was considering), and how ForScan is used (not just for trucks, but every Ford model with ODBII). I turned him on to the forum and also to ForScan. Perhaps he'll be better informed for his duties, who knows...

 

I received the recall notice early last month. Appointment setup for tomorrow with Dealer to perform the recall update.

 

Mine took about thirty minutes.

 

Sounds like Ford is doing a little CYA with that statement since disregarding the NOX sensor could lead to more expensive repairs that Ford doesn't wish to pay for, and can be avoided with this update.

 

well that sucks the you loose the ability to disable the auto-regen.

 

Where was this stated? I guess I missed it. I only read that you just have to go back in with Forscan and disable it again?

 

Well that was what I meant. Have to go back in again.
