To correct this condition, follow the Service Procedure to update the applicable modules to their latest software level.
SSM 518112023-07-25. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Some 2022 Mustang GT500 and 2023 F-150 Raptor R vehicles built on or before 14-May-2023 may exhibit an oil leak from the spark plug tube seal(s) and/or the Variable Cam Timing (VCT) solenoid seal(s). If this condition is present on an applicable vehicle, replace both of the valve cover assemblies. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-00. Do not replace the individual seals exhibiting a leak as this may not provide a robust repair. For claiming, use causal part 6582 and applicable labor operations in Section 06 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.
SSM 518052023-07-25. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL. Some 2022-2023 F-150 Lightning vehicles may exhibit This Trip mileage not resetting after a key cycle. This may be due to the software in the instrument panel cluster (IPC). To correct the condition, reprogram the IPC to the latest software level using the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) diagnostic scan tool. For claiming, use causal part 10849 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.
SSM 517832023-07-18. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Some 2021-2023 Ford and Lincoln vehicles may exhibit a condition where the high voltage battery stops charging when connected to level 1 or level 2 chargers with an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P2C94 stored in the secondary on-board diagnostic control module A (SOBDM). To restore charging capability, disconnect the off-board charging station charge handle from the vehicle charge port and reconnect. This condition does not affect vehicle durability and no additional diagnosis or service is required for this condition at this time. Inform customers that they can continue to drive the vehicle and engineering is currently working on a solution for this condition that is expected in August 2023. Replacement of the SOBDM will not resolve this condition. Monitor OASIS for additional information.
TSB 23-22182023-07-18. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Some 2021-2023 F-150 vehicles equipped with a direct current/alternating current converter module A (DCACA) inverter (minor feature code HUKAK) may exhibit an illuminated tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) indicator with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B124D stored in the BCM. This may be due to the DCACA inverter causing radio frequency interference (RFI). 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). To correct this condition, follow the Service Procedure to confirm if the inverter is the source of RFI and mitigate the interference.
SSM 517762023-07-12. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT; BACK OVER PREVENTION: CAMERA SYSTEM.

These DTCs should be disregarded unless it is a DTC with a status byte 8F. Other status bytes should be disregarded as they may be caused by a camera obstruction such as driver position, aftermarket devices or dust on the camera. To clear the DTCs, remove anything obstructing the view of the camera and light emitting diodes (LEDs), place the steering wheel in the center position and close the driver door. Connect Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) and clear the DTCs. Turn the ignition off and wait 10 seconds. Turn the ignition on and wait 1 minute. Perform the CMR self-test and reevaluate if DTCs persist.

Some 2021-2023 F-150 vehicles may exhibit a condition where the front passenger OCS (occupant classification system) components (seat cushion foam, OCS bladder with OCSM (occupant classification system module) and front seat cushion adjuster) require replacement. These components are calibrated to each other and must be serviced as an assembly. The OCS service kit components are not to be installed separately. If a new OCS or OCS components are needed, a new OCS service kit must be installed as an assembly, which includes all components of the kit. A new passenger seat cushion cover and the heater mat can be installed separately. Refer to Workshop Manual, Section 501-20B Supplemental Restraint System, Removal and Installation.

SSM 516882023-06-13. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Some 2021-2023 F-150 vehicles may exhibit an inoperative camera and diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) C1001:01 in the Sync Module (APIM), B115E:15 and/or B115E:31 in the Image Processing Module A (IPMA). This may be due to a loose coaxial cable or circuit connection. If only APIM DTC C1001:01 is present, verify connections between the IPMA and the APIM. If IPMA DTCs B115E:15 and/or B115E:31 are also present, verify connections between the IPMA and the affected camera(s). Refer to cell 145 of the online wiring diagram to identify affected connections. If an issue is found with any coaxial cable, the coaxial cable (10E929) can be serviced individually instead of the entire harness.
