Safety Recall: Ford Fixing Integrated Trailer Module with OTA Software Update Affecting 2024-26 Ranger Vehicles

[purdyd]

Same. Never received an update that I know of. I was getting ready to post to the forum to see if anyone else has received a software update.

the only ota update was the electronic brake booster last fall

i had it down by mobile service and thus did not get it ota

i read on here that someone did see the update ota for the brake booster recall but it happened a Month or so after the software update was available

so I imagine we might see this in April OTA

I had no idea this was a thing. I had a message pop up when i was getting out of the truck this evening saying there was an update available. Of course when you click on it, there’s no real reason info. Just the standard vague “we’re did an update to improve your software experience” or whatever. I of course said “no” until i could find out what it actually was. Wish they’d tell us what the friggin updates really are instead of having to research or guess. Just so happens they sent me a survey yesterday as it’s been a year owning it. I hope they actually do the follow up i submitted my info for. Ao i can let them know that and a few other things i thought about after the fact, lol

That kind of message indicates an update to SYNC4 S/W or the Ford App. I don't believe it's a drivability update, such as for the ITM.

I think it still may have been. Just because AFTER the update, it said it was for the central computer and improving connectivity to individual modules and that no noticeable difference would be seen.

I called my local dealer today. They said an OTA is not available for the 26C10 update, so I brought it in and they updated my truck.

Yeah, just got a notice of an update shown on my SYNC screen. I don't think it's the ITRM, as the recall still shows pending.
EDIT: This update happened while my truck was parked in a lot at a cemetery, not connected to my home or work Wi-Fi. My phone was in it, so it either did it through my phone Wi-Fi or the trucks cellular modem.

yeah, same now. I looked at my account on the website earlier today and it also still shows pending.

kinda pisses me off even more tho that they don’t give anything but vague info on their updates. We should know exactly what they are putting in our vehicles! Kinda makes me wanna change teams, lol.

I wonder why the Ranger can't update OTA. Our 2025 F150 updated the 26C10 OTA about a week ago.

 

[RaptorDJD]

I have not received any updates OTA that I am aware of.

I think the dealer is wrong. I guess we will find out.

Dealers get paid for installing it.

Anyone know if the mothership is pushing OTA patches yet, For trailer brake? got the central pcm one

 

[Dino Jockey]

I haven’t heard of anyone getting the trailer brake ota. If you are towing I’d go get it done by the dealer. I’d see if they can do mobile service.

I wonder if this central computer updated is related and we will see the trailer controller update ota after this is pushed out. I just received my central computer update yesterday.

 

[jordantii]

I got mine OTA.

I received the letter yesterday also, but a few days ago when I started the truck there was a message that there had been a software update and I thought it said something pertaining to the trailer tow but now I'm not sure, guess I'll call the dealer to find out. Is there a way to go in and look at what was updated?
