# Service bulletin SSM 54447

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.

- Published by NHTSA: 2026\-01\-06

## NHTSA's summary

Some 2022\-2024 Expedition/Navigator vehicles equipped with minor feature codes DBCBB or DBCBC may exhibit various driver assistance feature warning messages displayed in the instrument panel cluster \(IPC\). Additionally, some modules may store diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\) related to invalid data or lost communication. This condition may be due to the software in the image processing module A \(IPMA\), disrupting network communication. If the IPMA is currently failing to communicate, download and run the "IPMA \- Image Processing Module A \(IPMA\) Recovery" app in the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System \(FDRS\) scan tool. Select and run the IPMA Recovery Flash Erase option from the apps menu. If the driver assistance warnings and/or symptoms are intermittent, and possibly not failing during the dealership visit, download and run the "IPMA \- Image Processing Module A \(IPMA\) Recovery" app in the FDRS scan tool. Select and run the GWM Ethernet Update option from the apps menu. If IPMA communication had to be restored using the Recovery App, download and run the "IPMA \- Image Processing Module \(IPMA\) Alignm

- [TSB 25\-2512](/bulletins/11024522.md), 2025-10-28, Service bulletin: LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST; FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. This article supersedes TSB 25\-2104 to update the labor times associated with the Service Procedure. Some of the vehicles listed in the Model statement above may exhibit all of the following conditions: \* Inoperative BlueCruise and lane centering \* DTC U2018:51 stored in the camera module \- rear \(CMR\) \* DTC U0565:86 stored in the image processing module A \(IPMA\) \* DTC U3000:49 is not stored in the CMR This may be due to the software in the CMR.
- [SSM 53760](/bulletins/11018295.md), 2025-05-14, Service bulletin: LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION; FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS; FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING; FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL; LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING. Some 2023\-2024 Escape/Corsair vehicles equipped with driver assistance features with minor feature code DBCAB for Escape and minor feature code DBCBC for Corsair and 2022\-2024 Expedition vehicles equipped with driver assistance features with minor feature codes DBCBB and DBCBC may exhibit driver assistance feature warning messages displayed in the IPC. Additionally, some modules may store invalid data/lost communication related DTCs. The image processing module A \(IPMA\) should not store these DTCs. To confirm a vehicle is built with a certain minor feature code, review the build information by double\-clicking the vehicle identification number \(VIN\) in the upper left corner in the Professional Technician System \(PTS\). This condition may be due to the software in the IPMA, causing it to not communicate on the network. To restore communication and functionality, download and run the "IPMA \- Image Processing Module A \(IPMA\) Recovery" app in the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System \(FDRS\) scan tool. Once IPMA communication has been restored, download and run the "IPMA \- Image Processing Module \(IPMA\) Alignment"
- [TSB 24\-2251](/bulletins/11006769.md), 2024-09-02, Service bulletin: LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST; FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL. This article supersedes TSB 24\-2087 to update the vehicle lines, model years affected, action and service procedure. Some 2021\-2024 Mustang Mach\-E/F\-150, 2022\-2024 F\-150 Lightning/Expedition/Navigator, 2023\-2024 Corsair vehicles may exhibit an inoperative BlueCruise and lane centering with DTCs U2018:51 stored in the camera module \- rear \(CMR\) and U0565:86 stored in the image processing module A \(IPMA\) without DTC U3000:49 stored in the CMR. This may be due to the software level of the CMR. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to reprogram the CMR module using the latest software level of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System \(FDRS\).
