I’m shocked. In the last 7-10 days I’ve gotten 4 updates OTA. I just got 4.2.1 today and 7-10 days ago I was still 2.7 or Something lol on my job 1 21 truck

Except you're missing several OTA's that were supposed to come before those that now you will probably never get. Good job, Ford.

1 step forward, 2 steps back

I rec'd 4.2.3 on Wednesday, they're rolling in for the '21 job 1's. Blue Cruise seems to be better, not tracking so close to the 18 wheelers in the right lane.

@rugedraw - Is it possible that if an update was missed or skipped over, that it is included with the next update to that module? So if I got update 1,2,3 - missed 4 & 5 and got 6. Updates 4 & 5 are included in 6?

Cumulative?

@Snakebitten Why not? With all the lines of code in these updates, some of the lines could be original, some newer and some the latest. When a program is corrected, not all of the programing code is redone, just what corrections are needed. Just my take on it.

 

[Snakebitten]

Don't get me wrong. I hope/wish they are.
But I wouldn't bet on it.

Updates seem to target particular modules. Updates should be cumulative for the particular module.

I would guess no for cumulative in covering updates for different modules.

That was my thought with some of the updates. Just skip to next version with same code plus whatever is added. I noticed following the OTA lists that I skipped over an entire sync version when manually updating with FDRS. Every other module followed the update schedule though.
The weird updates happening now make me think that not everything depends on having most current updates. The APIM can potentially update for full screen Android Auto to make owners stop complaining but not update other modules with other fixes that can't be seen. Just a thought I had. Ford putting a bandaid on it and it may be intended only for trucks without Bluecruise or they will have a dealer process later to fix that. ?‍

I just got 4.2.2.1 this morning.

I just got 4.2.2.2 this morning (I have a 2023). The above was on 5/16. Maybe my truck likes hump day updates?
