## Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component

- [DDM\-PDM\-26.21.7 Exped\&Nav](/bulletins/11037820.md), 2026-10-02, Over\-the\-air update: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; STRUCTURE:BODY. Quality improvements include: \-Software update to improve responsiveness of the door control system after the vehicle enters a low\-power state
- [SSM 55100](/bulletins/11036530.md), 2026-09-01, Service bulletin: SEATS; UNKNOWN OR OTHER. For Various Ford and Lincoln vehicles, if diagnostics lead to the replacement of the front seat cushion cover J\-clips, lower\-level service parts are now available. Use service part W709919\-S901 if the J\-clip is completely detached from the seat cover and W715386\-S424 if the clip is still partially attached. It is not necessary to replace the seat cover if only the J\-clip is separating from the cover. Refer to PTS Home \> Technical Assistance \> Technical Support Videos \> Section 501\- Body and Paint \> Seat J\-Clips. For claiming, use causal parts from list below and labor operations 63100A and 63100A5. Causal Parts for claiming: Bronco/Bronco Sport/Escape/Explorer/Expedition/Navigator: 7862900 or 7862901 F\-150/F\-Super Duty: 1562900 or 1562901 Ranger/Maverick: 6062900 or 6062901
- [SSM 55005](/bulletins/11034984.md), 2026-07-14, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; STRUCTURE:BODY; UNKNOWN OR OTHER. 2025\-2026 Expedition/Navigator vehicles equipped with power running boards do not deploy the running boards in auto mode when the easy entry/exit setting for "Approach Detection" is toggled on. This is a change from prior models. Currently, easy entry/exit settings in the vehicle's center display screen incorrectly indicates that power running boards will deploy during approach detection in auto mode. This will be corrected in a future Digital Experience over\-the\-air \(OTA\) update which will begin deploying in mid Q3, 2026. The Workshop Manual \(WSM\) and Owner's Manual have been corrected to explain proper operation of power running boards.
- [26B11](/bulletins/11034220.md), 2026-07-01, Other: STRUCTURE:BODY. Certain 2025 Model Year Expedition and Navigator Vehicles Front and Rear Door Paint Correction and Upper Moulding Isolator Installation
- [SSM 54910](/bulletins/11033820.md), 2026-06-15, Service bulletin: VISIBILITY/WIPER; STRUCTURE:BODY. Some 2025\-2026 Expedition/Navigator vehicles equipped with one\-touch up/down front windows may exhibit a condition where a front window does not respond to one\-touch controls, does not open all the way and/or bounces back when using the one\-touch close function. Advise the customers that driver door module \(DDM\) and passenger door module \(PDM\) software updates are currently being delivered to vehicles over\-the\-air \(OTA\), which are expected to resolve these symptoms. It is important to advise the customer to select the automatic updates option in the settings menu to enable automatic updates and/or approve prompts to download or install updates if automatic updates are purposely disabled. Monitor Professional Technician System \(PTS\) for additional information.
- [SSM 54888](/bulletins/11033773.md), 2026-06-09, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; STRUCTURE:BODY; UNKNOWN OR OTHER. Some 2025\-2026 Expedition/Navigator vehicles built on or before 10\-Mar\-2026 and equipped with power autofold exterior mirrors may exhibit concerns with the passenger mirror not automatically folding in or out at times, while the driver side mirror automatically folds properly. This may be due to the software in the driver door module \(DDM\) and passenger door module \(PDM\). To correct the condition, reprogram the DDM and PDM using the latest software level of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System \(FDRS\) scan tool. For claiming, use causal part 14B291 and labor operation MT14B291SSM up to 0.4 hours.
- [PDM \-26.21.5 Expedition](/bulletins/11031750.md), 2026-04-30, Over\-the\-air update: VISIBILITY/WIPER; STRUCTURE:BODY. Quality improvements include: \-Prevents window bounce backs after using the one touch up feature
- [TSB 26\-2190](/bulletins/11031618.md), 2026-04-28, Service bulletin: STRUCTURE:BODY; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. This bulletin supersedes 26\-2154 to update the labor operation numbers. Some of the vehicles listed in the Model statement above may exhibit a concern where both the liftgate and tailgate open when commanded by the fob when the liftgate only opening feature is enabled through the touchscreen controls. This may be due to the software in the rear gate trunk module \(RGTM\).
- [TSB 26\-2186](/bulletins/11031615.md), 2026-04-28, Service bulletin: UNKNOWN OR OTHER; SEATS; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. This bulletin supersedes 26\-2146. Reason for update: to add a labor operation for replacing two brackets. Some of the vehicles listed in the Model statement above may exhibit a condition where the plastic trim around the universal serial bus \(USB\)\-C ports on the first\-row seat back is loose. This may be due to the USB\-C bracket.
- [TSB 26\-2147](/bulletins/11031610.md), 2026-04-28, Service bulletin: SEATS; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Some of the vehicles listed in the Model statement above may exhibit a no crank/no start condition with a discharged battery in cold weather conditions \(below 32°F Ý0°C¨\). Once this condition occurs, the battery draw will remain constant every time the ignition is turned off. This may be due to the power fold seat module \(PFSM\) \(also referred to as the seat control module J ÝSCMJ¨\) software keeping the controller area network \(CAN\) bus awake.
