Nice! Had you already completed the 25C69 recall before you got this OTA?

Ironically just got it done yesterday. Also they checked the 12v health and was at 100% so don't think that contributed to update failure.

Nice! I got my recall done yesterday too. I’ll keep an eye out for this OTA now. 👍

Will they not send it if you don't have the recall done yet?

Sometimes having a dealer manually do updates unclogs things. It seems that updates have dependencies and updating one module makes others become available.

Is your update window before or at the same time as your charge window? If so, try scheduling your update an hour or two after your charge window opens. This will allow the truck to fully charge the 12v while your HVB is charging. That will give you a solid charge on the 12v for the update window (assuming your HVB charging takes an hour or more).

I was wondering if this was going to come out for 2024 models. Good to see that updates are still rolling.

I’m with you mine constantly says 12 V battery low will try again later. I had the truck on a trickle charger and charge from 40 to 100% and still won’t update there’s something going on.

12v battery could still be weak and unable to maintain enough charge, all too common in the Lightnings due to their 12v BMS methodology.

Might (probably is) time for a new battery (warranty claim).
