The vehicle may be unable to enter electric-only drive modes as expected during normal drive cycles. This may be due to the belt integrated starter generator (BISG). For vehicles with this condition, follow the necessary Pinpoint Test in Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-06 for DTC P0A1E and repair the vehicle as directed. Note that previous replacement of the BISG does not negate the need for subsequent BISG replacements if directed to do so by the appropriate Pinpoint Test diagnostics. Engineering is investigating this BISG quality concern. Monitor PTS for updates regarding this investigation.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2026/MC-11035556-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2026/MC-11035556-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/11035556"},{"nhtsa_id":11032565,"type":"service_bulletin","type_name":"Service bulletin","date_added":"2026-05-08","date":"2026-05-04","document_id":"SSM 54795","mfr_campaign":null,"component":"ENGINE; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; POWER TRAIN","summary":"Some 2021-2023 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 3.5L PowerBoost engine and 2020-2026 Explorer vehicles equipped with a 3.3L hybrid engine may exhibit an illuminated powertrain malfunction (wrench) indicator with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0A1E stored in the powertrain control module (PCM).
