Oh joy............. Why couldn't I get on the fuel pump recall train.

At least there's a remedy available now (software update). Just requires a dealer visit.

A shame they can’t OTA the update.

I just had mine done this morning. I was in and out in about 40 minutes. Not too bad.

This is where the remote Ford service works well. I had my wiper flash update done in my driveway.

If it were only that easy, they can just send the update to the vehicle. Apparently not an option but I don’t understand why.

Oh, joy indeed. Initially I thought the press releases said an OTA update was possible for some. Maybe they decided this is too much of a liability for them to leave it unchecked by a dealer.

Not every update is capable of being an OTA update.

To be fair, I just scheduled my remote service appt for it to go do the update at my fiances work. It's an update to the abs module apparently, takes 30-45 minutes is what I was told.

I definitely agree it’s more of a CYA for Ford
