No mention of which module was updated?

Well that’s a very non informative informative description.

Same update and method for my truck today. The Software Updates "Recently Installed" page at my Ford.com dashboard shows the update but also no version number.

@Ford Motor Company
Earth to Brian (not AI) from Ford,
In the interest of Ford communication with owners, can you provide some additional details on this update? We like to know what changes are being made to our expensive vehicles.
Thanks,
Lytning

If you got the update message me your vin and I can see if it at lease specifies a module.

My guess is it was a gateway update. More than likely just a config change of some kind. Dont think any files were updated. Could be completely wrong though

I was just manually pushing updates, it’s the SOBDMC - secondary on-board diagnostic control module C.

I think it was part of my PCM or CMR update.

old value was nl38-14g069-azr vs new is nl38-14g069-ha

 

[Jesse-Infotainment]

It is a gateway update.

Looks to install a new file that I believe didnt exist before. I cant say for sure.

looks like @TexasGardeningGirl got it yesterday on her XLT and my PRO got it today.
Wish @Ford Motor Company was more descriptive

I got it yesterday and I don't know if it's related but my truck just started respecting my charging windows, which it was not doing before.

If only we could get a more meaningful update like I don’t know, the fucking APIM so it shows SC natively in the maps and being able to adjust the amp draw of the charger. Such little things but would certainly be nice.

Sorry, but meaningful updates are reserved for new models, how else would they incentivise you to get a new vehicle?

I'm back in the, "I'll take any OTA over no OTA" camp. I'm at least 3-4 OTA's behind yet.
