25C69 Recall - Ford Recalls 2022-2026 F-150 Lightning Over Rollaway Risk

[GoodSam]

it sets the brake more reliably

What do you notice, something happening when placed into Park, or something different when pulling / putting the emergency brake on?

In my driveway it sets now, before it would set every once in awhile. My driveway has a normal slope.

Ditto... '23 XLT ER

I've got both of those recalls sitting out there on my new to me '23 Lariat ER. I am curious how the OTA updates work. Just scanning a lot of threads here, it seems that it's often like winning the lottery? You never know when or if the recalls or other software updates will occur. I wish there was a way of manually pushing software updates when connected to wifi at the house. The dealership that does EV stuff well is about 25 miles away from me and it can be a hassle to work out a time with them.

Welcome to the forum with your first post, as for OTA's ..... distribution is controlled by the FoMoCo Magiculator, take a number and stand in line, some recalls that are popular now don't have OTA's yet.

Thanks. They have been my first choice on the list. That's where I got my mud flaps. When I first bot it on 9-30-25, last day of the tax credits, I drove it home from Independence, MO and stopped by their shop out behind about midnight that night, I unplugged an Amazon truck from their free charger and charged for a half hour at 10% charge to give me a few more % before the last 30 miles to home. They sell a lot of ford trucks there and more than the other dealers around except for maybe Wichita.

Definitely try Long McArthur. Tim, aka @FordVideoGuy, is the Internet Sales Manager and has owned a Lightning and a Mach-E over the years. I think they have sold a decent number of Lightnings and Mach-E’s despite being in ICE truck country.

OK. I did get a call a couple days ago from the Kansas City dealer about scheduling mobile service but I told them I was leaving for Colorado for a couple weeks and to call me back. Maybe I'll try Tim first especially since it would likely be their mobile guy coming out unless it is someone from Wichita.

Had mine done last week, and I can't really tell any difference.

I was hoping it would stop the "rocking" when you put it in park.

Curious if y'all are experiencing the same?

Mobile tech came out and installed today. Software update only. took about 10 minutes. immediately afterward Started truck to move it back under the carport and immediately got an on-screen message that tonight PT-25.8.5 Charge Port Functionality and Cold Weather Performance would install tonight. Doesn't seem like this would be dependent on the IPM but a big coincidence never-the-less.

Updating in fdrs can flush out pending updates if they were hung for one reason or another

I brought my 2025 Lariat to the dealership two days ago for this update. The service advisor let me know that the update failed and my instrument cluster was no longer working. The update from the team yesterday was they were waiting on Ford to approve replacing the instrument cluster completely. I don't know what troubleshooting steps they performed ( 12v, fuses, etc ) but will post an update once this is resolved or I have further information. Wish me luck!

Update from my issue. Received my repaired and updated truck back on 4/1. Per tech notes "completed open recall 25C69. After recall instrument cluster went blank. confirmed no communication with IPC and IPC is black." They performed additional tests, sent the data to Ford who confirmed the need for an instrument cluster replacement. Took a few weeks to get a good one in and only a day to install, program and test. No issues since.

I had both recalls 25C69 and 26C10 done today at my home by mobile service, took less than an hour.
When he was done, the frunk would not close itself, I had to manually close it, and then it was ok.
I had to repair my phone, however my old password and door code sill work.
I also thought my charging schedule was not being respected, but now I think I was mistaken about that.

Ford mobile service came out yesterday morning and did both 25C69 and 26C10. Today, both were no longer showing in the Ford app In the maintenance recall section. The lightbar recall is only showing on the web page and not the app. The tech arrived at 9 am and left at 9:20. He did not open the frunk or attach a battery maintainer. In an attempt to head off possible battery issues, I started the truck at 6 am and let it run in park for 3 hours until he arrived but he did not know that.
The only anomaly I noticed when he was done was the radio was in AM mode and was not on a station and so nothing but static when I turned on the radio. However all my presets were still there and selecting an AM station preset worked and same for FM presets. I had to reset My View on the instrument cluster that seemingly went back to the default and the tire pressure display was blank at first but populated after a few minutes. All in all…fairly anti climactic thank goodness.

@NAVEWO ditto on some of the changes...
The eq settings on the infotainment system was also set back to default center.

HI, new to the forum today. On 4/10/26 took my 2025 Lightning Flash in (Crown Ford NY) for 25C69 and 26C10 took two hours, I drove it back to work but it got stuck in Park. Towed back to dealer/service. They said the battery (12v I assume) had drained during updates so they replaced it. Driving home check engine light is on- Ford app says power train issue - I take it back to the dealer, it has been there ever since. They cannot get the check engine light off, apparently they are in touch with the engineers on the 'Hot Line' but at each step no joy. It has now been 2 weeks, they put me in a Maverick loaner but are anxious to get me a rental. Truck has less than 1500 miles on it, leased from Ford in September 2025. Will Ford do a buyback and give me a replacement if they can't fix it?

That is a potential solution, but you'll need to take action when you've had enough with the delays in repair.
