The 2022's seem to have the worst record for battery module failures based on my tracking spreadsheet. Ford stated that 1 of 25 owners would be affected (4%). Unfortunately @KurtsRPMGarage has taken 3 of the hits all by himself. Worst part is the long delays in getting repairs @Ford Motor...

I just counted on my PM/RP spreadsheet, and I think you are mostly right, of the 117 in this forum with Build date, I see only about 5 from 2023 builds.
I am counting at least 162 battery module fails reported in this forum. About 52 in another forum. And 22 in the last few months reported on Facebook.
This article shows about 40,000 sold in 2022-23:

So we see about 230...
For my PM/RP tracking spreadsheet (see my signature) what is your Build Month/Year (top line of sticker on driver's door jam)? Thanks! [also for some others, Miles?]

Same problem could happen for unlocking the truck by accident, for those of us without PAAK, but using FordPass App, especially if a button does not need to be held down for a couple of seconds. But even then "butt-pushing" the button could still happen for a couple of seconds. So perhaps...
On the 12" screen, I press the physical camera button again to revert to the regular display. Would that work on the 15" if the camera icon is still showing?

Beyond the Ford Navigation shakiness, phone calls now are loud static instead of hearing a voice. This thread goes into more comments:

I read somewhere that tires with more sidewall are more efficient, so smaller wheels with tall tires would be best? Or is it just weight reduction with more tire and less wheel? Carbon fiber wheels for the win? https://www.carbonrev.com/wheels/
Not sure if it matters compared to build date, but for the record, how many miles on your truck? (One of the items I am tracking in the spreadsheet (in my signature) of battery fails).

“impacted vehicle population consists of batteries that were (a) built from February 1 through March 31, 2023 and (b) reworked and reintroduced to the assembly line after the BEC fastener rundown operation.”
I would say, without proof, that the earlier the build, the more battery modules are likely to fail.
See page 9 of this September, 2023 Customer Service Program 23B57 description where Ford expected "Less than 4% of the affected vehicle population is expected to require one or more high...
So your truck is actually a 2022?
As for fear of this happening again, I would say, "be afraid, be very afraid"
Your mileage may vary.
Hopefully by the end of your 8 year warranty you will have a completely new battery.
Yes, problem can repeat based on recurring problems already experienced by a few - see the spreadsheet I am using to keep track of the reported failures in my signature.
Would you be so kind as to tell us your "build date" located at the top of the sticker in your driver's door jam? And also...
1. Having the 9.6kW Pro Power is a delight for backing up the house or for remote power access.
2. Software updates seem to be improving after the Battery Monitoring Sensor is replaced on the 12Vdc battery negative post (free).
3. for me, Android Auto was improving wireless connection, but...
