Lead Frame Recall 06-14-2024

[Gumby]

I had the reprogramming recall done in 2020 on a 2011. It still went out in 2022.

To be clear..... This is programing. This will not stop the failure of the lead frame. but will control the reaction the truck, if the lead frame fails..... This is the way @FordTechOne has explained it I believe.

So the guy that had the "2014 downshift crash" his truck...... I guess we all owe him an apology? Or even possibly a thank you.... might have been his law team that found the problem. Of corse that is speculation. LOL

no recall on my 11 hmmm

I just had mine replaced as it failed on me on my 2011. Replaced with updated part number. 200 dollar part but after all done with installation and flushing total price was 1,100 bucks. My truck has 189k miles on it

I’ve been looking to see if my 2014 was part of the original recall
and then I got a notification for my car. The local dealership sent a guy out in a truck and he did the reprogramming while I was at my office.

I got an appointment set up for July 2nd to take care of that. I guess I'll also have the transfer case fluid changed too.

Thanks @wjoutlaw I don’t think I would have ever gotten a letter and as a 2014 owner, was not eligible for the first recall. I do have a separate question for the group. I have been strongly thinking of doing the TOD transfer case swap. Is the “update” for the downshift actually on the PCM or the TCU (which is a needed swap for the TOD to work. Maybe @FordTechOne could answer ?

PCM. In the other thread they found that they could not get a Hi-Lock TOD to function on a Gen 1.
