Note: The body control module (BCM) software update only benefits vehicles utilizing the auxiliary fuse panel or the customer connection point 2 to connect non-Ford peripheral devices. Note: A shorted standard battery guard timeout may increase expected battery life.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10185491-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10185491-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10185491","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"equipment","name":"Equipment and accessories","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"COACHMEN","model":"BEYOND","year_from":2020,"year_to":2020,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
