Can anyone tell me if they can see whether the dealer has done anything to my truck yet? My VIN is 1FTFW1CD7NFA02183. They said it was thriwi g all kinds of DTC codes when I dropped it off to include something with the passenger side tow mirror.

Fortunately I have first day enhanced rental or I'd been left hanging at least for the first day due to a change in their loaner/rental policy.

TIA
Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

Which widget are you able to use to 'look' at your truck? Thanks.

I'll have to check the source. I think it may be on the other popular F-150 forum. It may now be available in the app store. I'll get back to you with a link to the forum thread.

Dealership called back this afternoon after I left a couple of messages to say they've been working on the truck and are still performing diagnostics. They're not sure at this stage whether it's just software updates needed or also parts. That's interesting in that my SecuriAlert is set for 24/7 and I remotely locked it yesterday. No alerts. Hmmm, can they get around the SecuriAlert? Is there any way to remotely check the multiple DTC codes they say my truck is throwing?

Check out this link. Might be more than you want to know, but there should be instructions on how to download it buried in there somewhere. Cheers!

Hey all : A BCM update has been popping up for some trucks in FDRS. Advice at this point is to NOT install it. It has caused lighting issues (headlights) on a few trucks.

With my 2022 Job 1 King Ranch currently at the dealer for software updates amongst other things, do you think they would install this BCM update?

Theres at least 3 types of headlights installed on this generation of F150. Do the updates apply to all types?
