The only two recalls I know of are probably the ones you are referring to. They are not Mustang specific. Copy and pasted below from NHTSA.

Bump - anyone with access to Ford TSB, SSM or GSB’s - can you see if there’s anything recent put out for the S550 10R80?

I have only found these:

No Upshift Past Second Gear Fails To Achieve Third Gear Ratio – Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0757 And P2701 – 2018 Ford Mustang

SSM 47361 – 2018 Mustang – 10R80 – No Upshift Past Second Gear Fails To Achieve Third Gear Ratio – Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0757 And P2701

Some 2018 Mustang vehicles equipped with a 10R80 transmission may exhibit a concern of no upshift past second gear or not achieving third gear ratio with DTCs P0757 and P2701.

This concern may be caused by a damaged one-way clutch.

To resolve this condition, replace the complete front support assembly (7A130) which includes the one-way clutch as well as any other parts that are found to be damaged.

Here’s the newest for 10R80:

10R80 – Whine Noise – 2017-2019 Ford & Lincoln

oemdtc September 18, 2018 Normal Characteristic
SSM 47515 – 2017-2018 F-150, 2018 Expedition/Navigator, 2018-2019 Mustang – 10R80 – Whine Noise

Some 2017-2018 F-150, 2018 Expedition/Navigator, 2018-2019 Mustang vehicles equipped with a 10R80 transmission may exhibit a whine noise.

This may occur at idle and while driving coming from the bell housing and front pan area of the transmission.

The whine noise may become louder when at operating temperature and increases with higher engine RPM in the Park position.

A small amount of whine noise is considered to be characteristic of the 10R80 transmission due to the offset gear drivetrain in the front support and has no effect on durability.

Official Ford doc for SSM 47361:

My '18 GT Premium Vert A10 just received this diagnosis from my dealer's service department last week. Same behavior and same DTC's as the SSM mentions. In my case, I could achieve 6th through 10th with some lucky work using the paddles and going back and forth on the shifter from Drive to Sport. Basically, 3rd through 5th was trashed. Supposed to be fixed in a few days. We shall see, I guess...

SSM7801 - 10R80 trans whine

 

[mikengail]

Well, SSM 47361 fixed my A10. Works better than new now. My service department didn't even mind the mods. They just asked me to reinstall the stock airbox and stock tune, since they were going to baseline it anyway. The service tech said that the headers actually saved him a lot of time. Took 2 weeks, but that was mostly because they were backed up on other trans repairs.

SSM7801 - 10R80 trans whine

Nice, another noise that 'may' happen and is declared a 'characteristic' that 'will not affect durability' and is 'normal'. All this retrospective explanation in SSMs from Ford about things their cars do that enough owners clearly aren't happy with...it's probably giving some folks a 'tick' ... (sorry)

Bump for those who need it

Harsh or delayed shift concerns

Bump - anyone with access to Ford TSB, SSM or GSB’s - can you see if there’s anything recent put out for the S550 10R80?

I have only found these:

Just FYI I tried to go to my local Ford dealer about the Mercon transmission fluid and not only did it not appear in their TSB database, they had to search for it in some special system to even find a record of it. They also told me for something like that, I would have to leave my car with them for testing for "weeks" while they check to make sure I am affected by this and they "possibly have to get a Ford engineer involved". That scared me out of it, has anybody actually gotten this done?
