Build date 1/23.

Crap

Has anyone here actually experienced this yet?

Well my 2023 built in Dec dodged another bullet again.

Did it? As I read the notice, only the Mach-E is subject to the built on/before June 25, 2023 date while all 2022-25 E-Transits and 2022-23 Lightnings are subject to the notice

Well damn. Looks like you’re right.

Meh. I'll worry about it when I see some reports of it actually happening.

 

[DerMot]

Saw this on the Mach e forum....applies to Lightnings too.

My 23 Platinum has this issue. It was delivered on 6/6/23. I’ve been trying to figure out the issue for months!
I tried a brand new EV Go charger near my house several times and the charge would quickly ramp up to 185ish kW and then stop abruptly within 3 minutes with a red light on the truck connection. Once in a while it does not fail but I’ve not charged more than 15 minutes on these EV Go chargers.
For 2 years, I DC charged weekly in OK on Francis Energy chargers with no issues but I guess I’ll be staying near home until this gets fixed.

Have you asked your service advisor if they can see any DTCs that would involve the SOBDM and/or are there any available software updates for the powertrain system?

 

[Cfieldsj]

No. My service guys are useless.

I’m thinking I’ll connect FORSCAN up and try to check it out myself…. I’ll post if I find anything out for sure.
Thanks.

Question:
So if I don't have either code in my SOBDM, am I good to take a 10-hour road trip this weekend?
I'm relying on at least two DC Fast charge stops.

Thanks in advance for help on this.

I took a trip requiring 3 DC charging stops this past weekend... had no idea of this service bulletin so I guess ignorance is bliss and it depends on how unlucky you feel. There haven't been people reporting this issue here, other than the 1 possible case in this thread, so the odds feel like they're in your favor to me.

Our truck was built May of ‘23. This year June I drove 1800 miles roundtrip to Great Falls MT. Charged 10 times at DCFCs (Tesla & Electrify America) No issues.

Thank you, Guys, I feel a little better about making this trip.
