GT A10 tranny needs reprogramming.

[Chainsaw]

Just got my GT Wednesday. Dealership calls me today saying that there's a recall on the car and it needs the transmission reprogrammed. I made an appointment for monday. Anybody else know anything about this recall?

Thanks. I thought it might be something more serious. They offered me a Lincoln for a loaner car. Updating the software in the cluster should only take a few minutes.

I thought they were not released until corrected (?) Looks like you got a November 2017 at the latest. By 1st week in December I think they were coming off the line with correction in place.

You are correct, the car should not have been released to me without the software update. Should I read the service manager the riot act, and demand a Roush supercharger for the inconvenience.

Yes, you should. Tell them you will clap back and melt down the Twitisphere if they don't give you the blower.

When you can, ask them for a recall # or copy of the letter to post up here. I knew of the recall affecting the 12” digital cluster issue, but never heard it referenced as a “transmission reprogram”.

Just want to be certain that what the Dealer is telling you is one in the same...

I googled recalls on the 2018. The only one that I found was for the cluster update that affects the shifter. 17C21

MY 2018 GT with A10 has a build date of 11/20/17 and when I found it on a dealer lot late December, I was not able to pick it up until Jan 9, 2018 due to the update required by Ford. It has something to do with the PRNDS not showing on the digital gauge (401A package) once the car was turned off after a drive. Is your GT equipped with the digital cluster? I do not know if this software update applied only to digital cluster equipped GT's or all Autos (manual were excluded from this of course).

I have the 401A option (12.4" digital cluster) with the A10.

NO other recalls that I am aware of.

I am surprised the dealer allowed you to take the car. Not that its a real safety issue, but according to the NHTSA this was a safety issue and the vehicle was non operable until the the fix and done. The dealer should be able to fix this for you very quickly as it is a software update.

My build date is 10/12/2017. 17C21 has to be the recall they've called me about. A phone call seems out of the ordinary, right. Shouldn't they have mailed me a notice?
