Ay, there's the rub. Its the worst truck experience on the planet - except for all the others.

Just got a call from my dealer stating update is available for my '23 now. Just released a few minutes ago. Have them scheduled to come out Thursday for it.

Interesting, dare I dream the update to actually be available now

@Mike G would you mind checking the PTS website to see if it lists as available for 22-23 models when you have a moment? Please and thanks again

Cancel that, I checked the Ford recall website and it actually lists the recall fix as being available now against the vin for this recall. Finallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

The Park Lock recall now shows up in the Ford app, too, for my 2023 Lariat ER:

Ditto... '23 XLT ER

Well my excitement was short lived, dealership said they don't have the fix available to them. Not available in Canada yet I guess.

Back to waiting.

Also for the 2022 ...... having just picked up my truck last week from the trailer module update, I'll wait until 35K tire rotation to get them to update this issue, I'm always using my parking brake as a precaution.

I got this update yesterday along with the trailer update. The tech said that it was just released so he can do them both, and this was home service.
I notice it sets the brake more reliably on my drive way now.

I got it as well yesterday (covered in a related thread). This NHTSA recall update takes a while, even at the dealership with their fast VCM dongles for FDRS work. It does major software stuff to among other things, the SOMDB.

I was in for the Trailer Lights NHTSA recall update which takes like, 10 minutes... and the Parking Pawl update popped as available for my 2023. This one took the tech about an hour or so, even though he was all hooked up for the trailer lights recall update already.

My brake update took 30 minutes.

Looks like I have two pending recalls. Park module and Trailer module. I still have to find an area dealer between Salina and Wichita that has a service shop that knows lightnings and electric vehicles. I have already ruled out two who doesn't even have someone in the shop that can spell "lightning"!!! Probably finding one with a mobile service tech will be impossible. Guess I could call around and see if one of them has a mobile service tech which I would think that they have some level of expertise in the shop.

I think Long McArthur Ford is familiar with them @FordVideoGuy can confirm.

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.

So, ETA on the OTA? Weeks or months?
