This is the first recall for the 2025s and I know the older ones have had several.

Not yet, just what was mentioned in the link.

Yeah, hopefully just an OTA update ... I haven't seen where mine has ever been updated yet or what version it is on.

You can't make this stuff up. Ridiculous. What is the number so far this year? It was 135 recalls last month.
If you own a Ford, a discounted extended Ford warranty from Flood or Granger is a must have. Even more so with the 1.5L.

It's just a software update. This one is not a big deal. It has to be a "recall" due to the safety implications mentioned, but it's not like this will cause catastrophic mechanical breakdown worthy of any real concern.

IMO, of course.

I had my reasons why I bought a leftover '24 instead of the '25. The screen was a big one.

What about the old screen did you prefer? We just bought a 2025 and thought the older screen looked so out of date.

It doesn't mention if it's a one off or lasting issue.

I don't like A/C and heat controls on a screen. Add in with Ford's reputation for recalls, this recall is not a surprise.
