| SSM 50661 | 2022-04-13. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Some 2018-2022 F-150, Expedition, Navigator, Transit, Aviator and Explorer vehicles may exhibit an illuminated MIL with Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) P025A, P025B, P00C6, P008A and/or U0109 stored in the powertrain control module (PCM). This may be due to an intermittent or partial disconnect of the harness to the fuel pump control module (FPCM) connector, connector pin push-outs or loose/corroded grounds. Inspect FPCM connector, applicable grounds (F-150- G401, Expedition/Navigator- G403, Transit- G401, 2018-2019 Explorer G302, 2020-2022 Explorer/Aviator- G407) and confirm FPCM connector (F-150- C4336, Expedition/Navigator- C433, Transit- C433, 2018-2019 Explorer C3239, 2020-2022 Explorer/Aviator- C4033) is fully seated prior to performing PC/ED diagnostics or replacing any components. |

| SSM 50652 | 2022-04-13. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT:CONTROL MODULE. Some 2021 F-150 vehicles built on or before 24-Feb-2021 may experience the anti-theft intrusion alarm system activating when there is no evidence of an intrusion. This may be due to the intrusion alarm system sensing vibrations that are characteristic to other vehicle systems. To correct the condition, update the body control module (BCM) to the latest software level using the appropriate scan tool. After BCM reprogramming completes follow the on-screen prompts to relearn the TPMS sensors. For claiming, use causal part 15K609 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual. |
| OTA SU2 P2.2 F15 | 2022-04-05. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE. Software Update 2 (SU2) Phase 2.2 for 2021 Model Year F-150 vehicles is now available. Involves: Fix for availability of subscription services. |
| 22L02-S1 | 2022-04-04. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL. Certain 2021 Model Year F-150 Raptors with BlueCruise Prep Kit: Ford’s advanced BlueCruise hands-free driving technology has started rolling out to a wide variety of customers, beginning with more than 50,000 F-150 and Mustang Mach-E vehicles already equipped with the feature produced at our plants starting last July. Ford knows Raptor truck customers want the best of everything, which is why we delivered our most off-road capable version of the truck ever with plans to combine it with BlueCruise for breakthrough hands-free, on-road driving. We found in the final stages of software development that this specific implementation does not meet Ford and our customers’ highest standards when combined with the purpose-built off-road suspension and capability that our Raptor truck customers expect. As a result, Ford will refund customers the $795 hardware prep kit price and make new customers aware they are not being charged for the feature. |
| 21G01 | 2022-04-04. Service bulletin. FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: DYNAMIC BRAKE SUPPORT/BRAKE ASSIST.

The Ford Co-Pilot360™ Active 2.0 Prep Package was created to ensure early customers have access to the BlueCruise feature when software is available. F-150 (43C) / Mustang Mach-E (50G) vehicles equipped with the Ford Co-Pilot360 Active 2.0 Prep Package contain hardware through the Active Drive Assist (BlueCruise) Prep Kit that will enable the activation of the full BlueCruise hands-free feature once the software is installed on the vehicle. |

It may also be observed on the PTS - Over The Air (OTA) dashboard that multiple APIM and/or TCU updates have failed, or a no OTA history message is displayed. This may be due to a internal software error. To correct this condition, follow the Service Procedure to recover the APIM/TCU. |
| SSM 50614 | 2022-03-22. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM); POWER TRAIN; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Some 2021-2022 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 3.5L PowerBoost engine and built on or before 31-Jan-2021 may experience an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) with diagnostics trouble codes (DTCs) P04F0 And/Or P04EE stored in the PCM. This may be due to the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor becoming unseated from it's mount on the evaporative (EVAP) tube that connects to the top of the fuel pump and sender unit, causing an EVAP system leak near the top of the fuel tank. If the sensor is found to be unseated, resecure the sensor by pressing the sensor down vertically and retest. If the concern is resolved, the 9D683 assembly needs to be replaced due to the sensor retainers becoming weak. Refer to Workshop Manual, Section 303-13D. For claiming, use causal part 9D683 and applicable labor operations in Section 09 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual. |
| SSM 50602 | 2022-03-22. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Some 2021 F-150 vehicles may not be able to complete a state emissions test due to the vehicle not being identified and/or not communicating with the emissions testing equipment. This may be due to the configuration in the gateway module (GWM). To correct the condition, download and run the GWM - Gateway Module A Configuration app using the latest version of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS). For claiming, use causal part 14G490 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual. |
