Your what? Software version? How can I tell if my truck is due an update?

Many of us nerds, keep an eye on every update, logging them for historical reference.
See my signature below for recent updates.
Fordpass / Vehicle / Features & Settings / Software Updates / Recent Changes / > / shows most recent posting.
Keep track of that this point forward. We customers do not have direct access to the complete manifest of received updates but our Ford technicians have this information.

I also received a secret update. It is so secret that Ford can't tell me which update it is.
I think Ford put us all on "Double Secret Probation" for complaining about the updates and app.

Anyone that got the mystery update want to share your VIN so I can check what it is?

Thank you @Lytning for the VIN. It's the no-name "Voldemort" update that Mach E's first reported last moth. It is unclear what it does, but it is believed to fix something that the 6.1.0/6.2.0 GWM updates caused.

Btw: This Lighting is showing IPC update 6.8.0 is in the queue waiting to install. It has been in queue since 1/23 without the OTA trigger being activated. If you manually check for updates on the touchscreen, is it giving you an option to install or schedule an update?

I had this update too, and it damn near killed my battery. I was traveling for work and my truck was parked at the airport. I came back and it wouldn't remote start, once I got into it and started it, I was warned if it restarted I'd need a physical key because the 12V was low. I left it running outside the office while I got some stuff done and then took it home where the update showed as installed. Seems like the truck tried really hard in cold weather to download the update. Would be nice if they did a better job of managing the 12V with the HVB.

That's very strange. This is a very small update that does not require the vehicle to be inhibited while it installs. That is very atypical with this type of OTA.

Thanks @rudedraw. It does not show an update available for manual download. 12V SOC is showing 79%. I have powered my truck on to boost 12V SOC and will check again in a few hours.
