| SSM 51163 | 2022-10-31. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.. Some 2021 Edge vehicles which have received an APIM software update may experience a concern with Sirius radio being inoperative. This will be accompanied by ACM diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1A89:13 for the satellite antenna. To correct this condition, download and run the APIM Programmable Module Installation (PMI) application using the latest software level of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS). When the PMI asks, Is The Original Module Installed?, select NO. When the PMI completes, perform an ALL CMDTC test and clear all DTCs. For claiming, use causal part 14G670 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual. |

| SSM 51120 | 2022-10-11. Service bulletin. SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC. Some Ford and Lincoln vehicles may exhibit noise when the brakes are applied. When diagnosing and repairing brake noise conditions, use the Workshop Manual (WSM) and the appropriate pinpoint test in section 206-00. The brake rotors should only be machined if directed by the WSM because one or more of the following conditions are present on the braking surface: scoring, excessive corrosion/rust or pitting, bluing/discoloration and/or heat spots. For additional information, refer to WSM section 206-00. |
| SSM 51117 | 2022-10-11. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN.

This may be due to a rear drive unit (RDU) motor magnet ring misalignment. RDU assembly replacement is no longer required. To correct the condition, replace the RDU motor which is now available separately for service. Refer to Workshop Manual, Section 205-02 for diagnosis and repair procedures. For claiming use causal part 4C210 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual. |

This may be due to a compatibility issue between the customer's phone and the wireless accessory charging module (WACM) that may make it difficult for Ford and Lincoln vehicles to wirelessly charge these specific phones. The phone can still be charged using the USB cable if the vehicle experiences the above symptoms. If the customer is using a Magsafe iPhone such as an iPhone 12 or 13, verify the wireless charging pad works with a Qi certified phone prior to any part replacements. |

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE; EQUIPMENT. 2021-2022 various Ford and Lincoln vehicles may exhibit an erroneous diagnostic trouble code (DTC) U1A01:93 stored in the telematics control unit (TCU). This may be due to various software parameters within the TCU. If this DTC is identified during normal diagnostics, but the vehicle does not exhibit any customer concerns around the TCU operation, clear this DTC and no further repairs are recommended. If the DTC returns after being cleared or if the vehicle exhibits connectivity concerns with the TCU, continue with normal Workshop Manual (WSM) diagnostics. If set erroneously, this DTC does not cause any observable concerns or warning messages and does not affect vehicle performance or durability. Ford is developing a software update which will be delivered to the vehicle via an over-the-air (OTA) TCU update in July 2022 to prevent this DTC from setting erroneously. |
| SSM 50804 | 2022-06-01. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
