Sorry if my question looks stupid, but I cannot understand the "If you have recently received the 6.2.0 update" part. How in the world do I find out if I received this update or not?!
I have checked everywhere and could not find any version information in the vehicle menus or in the Ford app. What am I missing? Where do I find the installed version number?
When 6.2.0 was first released, the roll-out was stopped due to some problem in the update. Ford later re-released it when they fixed it. For those that did get the bad version of 6.2.o, a different update was sent to them to fix the issue. You cannot check what you are looking for. I cna check you OTA history, but I would need your VIN.

I suspected something like this from the way they phrase their notices... thanks for confirming it.

Sorry, 6.3.0 is the one that was recalled......not 6.2.0. 6.3.0 was replaced with 23-PU1103-NAT-VCE which is the one you got. You were never sent 6.3.0; you get sent the fixed version. It was first sent to you on 12/5 but it had trouble installing one of the files and it failed. It was resent to you on 12/12 and that time, it went through. The next Power Up update you will be sent is 6.4.0, but there is no way to know when that will be. Based on how aggressive they have been with the 6.x.x updates, you should be getting it soon.

Always on WiFi, and SOC typically in the 90+ range. I have even started applying the parking brake and setting the headlight switch to the off position (not the auto position) to ensure all of the so-called "pre-conditions" are met. I assume, based on previous experience, that I am not alone, but wanted to verify that this is the case. Thanks all!
I bought a Job 1 '21 XLT a couple of months ago (first registration 12/2021). I recall getting an update shortly after purchase. Rugedraw told me it was current on updates at that time. I don't drive it much so I keep it on a trickle charger. I had reason to drive it awhile in the past couple of days and just got notification that 6.3.0 was successful. The Sync version matches that.

No recent OTA history. The last APIM OTA your truck got was in July of 2022. Even though your Sync version indicates you are well past the bad software known to break the OTA process in 2021 trucks, that is a long time without updates. I don't have a good reason as to why you haven't gotten anything, but I don't think there is anything wrong with your truck. I would look into a Mongoose and updating it yourself.

Edit: Did you ever have your APIM swapped out for any reason?

@rugedraw Can you do a check for updates to see if any are waiting in the queue? The last 3 updates only came through when I reset the BCM after things like my auto-start stop stop working, etc.

Dealer says battery is fine, but I think something is wrong when my autostart stop stop working after a couple weeks.
I want to see if there is an update waiting and then do the reset and see if it comes through after.

Thanks for all the help you are on this topic.

My dealer keeps saying the same. Our auto stop/start hasn’t worked since July. Truck keeps going into a deep sleep mode… I’ll be opening a case with our dealer to have it at the very least documented. I really don’t see how the battery checks out, makes no sense. Luckily, our updates are still going through, just stuck on 6.5.0 currently.
