Good morning,

Could I get a vin lookup? I took my truck in for service for an APIM MODULAR replacement because I haven't had an OTA update since I bought my 21 Lariat Hybrid. I totally could not find the member that checked the last VIN check that told me the history of my truck. Thank you for your help ahead of time!!

1FTFW1ED9MFB79457 for update history

Thanks!
Looks to me like the did everything correctly. They updated the APIM, GWM and TCU several times after the new APIM was installed. Post a pic of the "about sync" screen on your truck to make sure a few things on there match up with what Ford has on their side, but it looks good to go for updates going forward.

Ok, so Sync version and APIM serial numbers match up, so looks good to go. PTS shows campaign 21G01 to activate BC is open on your truck. If your BC is still not functioning, the dealer can activate it for you now.

Interesting. I don't ever recall seeing Sync version 21008 before, but PTS is showing that same Sync version. It is very old.....that is from 1/8/2021. I see the dealer was able to recover your existing APIM and they updated the APIM, GWM and the TCU (they struggled getting the TCU updated, but they eventually got it) which are all good things.

Your GWM is recording an error code that is associated with the attached SSM. The SSM says that a GWM OTA will fix the issue. Then on 1/18 and on 2/2 (this was the same day the dealer performed updates) you were sent a GWM OTA that failed that I have never seen before where the release notes read:

"Bug fixes to improve your experience This is a routine update where we squash a few bugs."

The first the update failed is because the OTA trigger expired before anyone started the truck, but chances are, it would have failed anyway. The OTA update failed the 2nd time due to a manifest issue, but it seems like the OTA process is working and trying to do what is needed to fix your truck. I would wait a bit to see if the ship rights itself. As far behind as you are, I recommend you look into FDRS and updating the truck yourself as the OTA process will take a veeeeeeery long time to get you fully updated.

Update:
I took the truck in for some warranty work in March and asked the dealer to manually update all of the modules because the OTA process had yet to complete updates with the evidence of still being on Sync version 21008. When I received the truck back, I was assured the updates had been completed yet the Sync version remains the same. Would you please be willing to run the VIN again to determine what the dealer might have actually completed? Thank you!

They did nothing. They didn't even plug the truck into FDRS.

Yea, you got 4.2.1.2 just yesterday and 4.2.1.1 a week earlier. Hopefully you continue to get more.

Thanks for checking!
I had someone with much more knowledge than I have look into your truck and your truck is fine in terms of configuration and being able to receive updates. It is unclear why it is not getting the updates it needs. As far behind as your are, I would consider exploring the FDRS/Mongoose route and update it yourself.
