Front sensor blocked

I have had the issue since I purchased mine in January 24. Took it in twice no dice. Iam hoping that an update at some point will fix it.

What was their technical response?
They can’t just sit back and do nothing.
I’m taking mine in on Wednesday. I’m hoping i get a savvy senior tech looking at the problem.

I spent some time checking the sw update setting. No updates on this truck. It has no history. Please do post your results after taking it in for service.

Even with pictures I got the dreaded “can't repeat error” from the service bros.

Heads up. Problem fixed on my end. Ford Store San Leandro here in Cali applied the following:

in addition several other patches. The blocked sensor issue is gone. The truck has not had any OTA updates in over a year. Not sure why. They had to keep the truck over night as the sw updates could not be interrupted (manual updates).

Best of luck everyone!

Mine hasn’t been a noticeable problem as of late. I’m assuming ford had an OTA update. I feel some updates come through without notifying the driver

I've had this problem since I purchased on 6 April. I found SSM 52161, which I believe is an update of SSM 52088 (if not, does anyone know the difference).

When I took it to my dealer and asked that they follow the SSM, they told me first that the problem didn't happen (they just didn't notice when they pulled it into the shop), and then told me that the SSM didn't apply and the Ford told them they needed to do a complete front-end tear down to further evaluate. Oh, and they won't cover a rental while it's in the shop at least a week for the tear down.

Suffice it to say, I brought the truck home and am hoping to get the OTA updates sooner rather than later in the hope that will resolve the issue.

Clearly a scummy dealer. If it’s under warranty they should cover rental during the work

If I understand the OTA process correctly, you can only impede "drive inhibit" updates, all the "on the fly" updates could still occur.
