  1. Remote features disabled to preserve battery?????

    ...(that is, most on this forum and other groups that have posted) stated their vehicle came with a Motorcraft AGM Battery but a few so far had an EFB (battery) installed by the factory AGM Batteries are not immune from the symptoms OP is experiencing: more than likely OP is not driving the...

    Smart to keep the Everstart. They appear to be better quality plus you have a good warranty. Hope you get reimbursed.
  3. After the battery recall

    A history of my battery issues on my 2021 BL. Original battery was an EFB. Replaced under warranty with an Motorcraft AGM on 11-1-2023. I continued to have issues with the Start/Stop not working, and the low battery message after a few months on the new AGM. I just put up with the issue and...
  4. After the battery recall

    My 22 BSBL has an EFB and occasionally threw a code if it sat for a long time. The ASS never runs in the winter even though that’s when I drive it constantly. I only drive once in a while in the summer and the ASS gets shut off usually after the first time it does it. I’ll go get the...
  5. After the battery recall

    They shouldn't have had EFB batteries at all in these vehicles, and I wish they would stop buying cheap parts from other countries., though Covid messed up the supply chain of course. But they're still doing it.
  6. After the battery recall

    My wife is at the dealer getting our OE battery replaced as I type this. The original (EFB) has been fine. I've been monitoring the voltage and using a Battery Tender (BT) when it gets low, which helps. Of course, from the description of the issue (poor construction) it could consistently...
  7. After the battery recall

    ...including the Auto start/stop engaging a couple of miles from a cold start. A Forman at the dealer did tell me that he was seeing a lot of EFB batteries being replaced under similar circumstances. Once they replaced the EFB battery with the AGM battery the auto start/stop would engage...
  8. After the battery recall

    DWG that’s cool they replaced it even though it wasn’t under recall. 67% doesn’t necessarily mean it was bad. I get the impression Ford is trying to make things right for their customers, whether it’s because it’s the right thing to do or just for PR, it’s good for the us.
  9. After the battery recall

    My 24 came with the EFB battery and wasn't part of the recall but I asked for the battery to be tested since the Auto start/stop was not activating. SOC was 67% so the battery was replaced with an AGM battery after only 10 months. All of my recent Fords have had AGM batteries and I have never...
  10. Battery Recall

    My OEM EFB battery died just before the recall was announced, and was replaced by dealer with Ford AGM at my expense. I received the recall notice and contacted the dealer who told me I’d have to wait for the actual recall to start to file for reimbursement. I submitted for reimbursement 5/4/25...

    Likely you are right and is an approach fair to owners with problematic batteries That being said, I’ve long ago lost trust in an EFB (battery) for the Bronco Sport. Mine failed last summer and was replaced under warranty with the Motorcraft AGM - I did receive Recall 25S02 but was moot since i...

    Ok. I guess I would say if your battery isn't giving you issues and you didn't receive a notice from Ford you should maybe wait until all those who are actually affected by the recall get taken care of. By all means, get the software updates--I believe those apply to everyone--which should...

    Yep and I’ve seen other owners claim (probably on Fb groups) their EFB (battery) was replaced when Recall 25S02 didn’t apply to their vehicle.
  14. Battery recall ?

    That's good to hear. Looks like Ford is taking care of their problem in this case. I hope people get their affected cars in quickly before they change their mind.
  15. Battery recall ?

    ...was being rolled out. Since the recall wasn’t finalized I had to pay for new battery (AGM @ $300 installed). Today I got my check from Ford for the full amount of the battery — “good things happen to nice people" <lmao>. I think on this one Ford is covering everyone who got an EFB, Camel or not.

    Head over to another dealer and show them the procedure for the 25S02A recall … might not work or you might get a new AGM Battery. Here is a copy and paste from a post at the link below. “I am assuming you are talking about 25V-019: Description of Remedy Program: Owners will be notified by...

    ...25S24 recall (only recall showing for vehicle). While I was talking to service advisor I specifically asked about battery and mentioned I had an EFB. He looked at his computer, said, "no, you don't have 25S02, they track all the parts numbers and build dates, you're good to go." I...

    Following whatever directive they received from FORD simply stated that if the technician observed any battery other then the newly approved FORD/AGM battery he/she would be required to replace the foreign battery... I would have liked to keep that battery as a backup, but they were also...

    I'm confused (???). If you already had an AGM installed, they should have looked at it and done nothing but update records since it wasn't an EFB. Cheers!
  20. Shudder Gone: Transmission and Torque Converter Replaced at 52xxx Miles

    Do you know if you have the factory EFB (battery)?
