Ford F150 Adaptive cruise recall
FYI
Ford F-150
Ford is recalling some 37,000 2015 Ford F-150 pickup trucks for a potential issue with the adaptive cruise control.
The company said that when passing "a large, heavily reflective truck," the radar in the adaptive cruise could incorrectly identify the truck as being in the F-150's lane of travel. The F-150 could then automatically apply the brakes until the adaptive cruise system system no longer believes this to be the case.
Ford said it received a report of one accident related to this issue. No injuries were reported.
The recall affects certain 2015 Ford F-150 vehicles built at Dearborn Truck Plant, March 18, 2014 through Aug. 5, 2015, and at Kansas City Assembly Plant, Aug. 11, 2014 through Aug. 6, 2015.
It includes 36,857 trucks in North America, including 33,481 in the U.S.
Dealers will update the adaptive cruise software at no cost.

My 6500 series VIN F150 totally does this. Detects collision when passing same direction of travel semi trucks. Not all the time but it's done it three times to my memory. Twice on cruise and once with direct pedal feed.
I'll be pleased if they upgrade this. Any idea timeline on a fix? Software fix or hardware?
