REASON FOR THIS PROGRAM
In some of the affected vehicles, an internal error in the Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM)
or Telematics Control Unit (TCU) module software will prevent the receipt of software updates or
enhancements for these modules from Ford
Power-Up or Lincoln
Way. The module will operate as
intended otherwise.
SERVICE ACTION
Before delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this program, dealers are to update the APIM
and TCU module software. If either module won’t execute the update, the module needs to go through
the recovery process listed in TSB 22-2150, then updated.
For sold vehicles, customers will be notified if they have a module with this issue. They will be
instructed to make an appointment with their dealer to have this issue corrected. This service must be
performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
NOTE: The service action is different between vehicles that are sold and in operation vs. unsold
vehicles. Ford
can identify modules and VINs that require the recovery process once the vehicles are
sold and in operation. Those VINs are included in this program. If a vehicle has not yet been sold,
dealers will be able to identify modules requiring recovery by attempting to update the modules.
OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner letters were mailed the week of May 27, 2022. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that
arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.
