This may be due to software parameters in the PCM. Ford is working on an update that is expected via over the air (OTA) in late August 2021. The software will update automatically if Vehicle Connectivity is turned ON. Inform the customer that powertrain durability is not affected and they can continue to drive the vehicle. Contact the customer in September to determine if they received the update. If the customer needs assistance, schedule a follow-up appointment. Monitor OASIS for updates.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10201001-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10201001-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10201001","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null}],"codes":["P0A2F"],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"FORD","model":"F-150","year_from":2021,"year_to":2021,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2021_ford_f-150"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
