Service bulletin SSM 52184

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

Some 2023 F-150 hybrid vehicles built on 24-Oct-2022 and through 26-Oct-2022 equipped with a 3.5L Power Boost engine may exhibit DTC U0438:82 in the IPC and/or U0140:87 in the TRM. This may also be accompanied by a Trailer Brake System Fault See Manual message in the IPC. This may be due to the configuration of the IPC. To correct this condition, download and run the IPC - Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Configuration application using the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) scan tool. For claiming, use causal part 10849 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.
