Ford "Harvest Program 25H05"

[mmff88gt]

Has anyone else recently gotten a letter from Ford which includes the following: "Ford Motor Company is voluntarily conducting a study on certain customer-owned vehicles to evaluate the software currently installed on one or more electronic modules in your vehicle?" It asks me to contact my servicing dealer for an appointment. Ford says my dealer will need my vehicle for at least one day. Rental vehicles are authorized.
I wonder why they are so vague as to what they might be evaluating. There is no indication that there is any issue to be fixed, just a chance for Ford to snoop through my vehicle's modules. Do they want to see how often I am "driving in Mexico?" I am not too excited about this. Others' thoughts?

Had one a few years back. Threw it out and moved on. Mostly because I still had a warranty and didn't need Ford having my data.

No way I would risk damage to my vehicle at a dealership for something that does nothing for me. That is laughable.

How could you be at all interested or curious about this for what they offered is my question.

Oh yeah let me give up my brand new at the time GT for a week for a tiny amount of money and a lot of risk and let some other person drive it and do who knows what ... to help out the multi billion dollar company?

Total joke of a request and offer from them. Should put you in a Ford Raptor as an incentive while your car is gone instead of the much lesser of a car loaner they offered. Hard hard hard pass.

They aren't trying to look at you individually come on dude. They'd probably be happy if they find a car beat on because they get data about how it's holding up. They want to see how the emissions and other stuff is holding up after real world use for a while.

I got one back in 23 right after I bought my mach, Ford and roush wanted it for a month to develop aftermarket parts for it and even offered to pay me like 400 bucks. I said hell no.
