23OH Recall: My baby had a bad battery module replaced, took photos, it was dramatically traumatic!

[MTLF150]

This was a recall, Ford initially reached out to me about it. There were no symptoms. If Ford hasn't reached out to you, then you probably don't have to worry about it.

Not necessarily true! Some of us (ahem ) we’re never notified by ford had the truck just completely loose power (4% max power). Dead cell module 3. 4+ weeks in the shop. Parts were ordered and surgery taking place as we speak. Hopefully has a full recovery! ‍🩹

Did they perform the work at your local dealer or did you have to bring it some place?

It's always done at a dealership.

I live within a short drive of Dearborn, and all my work is still done at a dealership.

I've had my Lariat ER for about 6 weeks. It has been performing flawlessly. In about late July, I am going to completely have a professional overhaul the audio system and have some very high end amplifiers and speakers installed.

What I'm hoping is that I don't have a problem like this down the road and Ford says something like You had all of this equipment installed so we can't warranty your module replacement or some other issue. I'm hoping this professional install won't be an issue down the road.

Thanks for sharing. I love seeing the break down of these EV's. Also can I just say how much of a relieve it is to not see oil all over your cover plates, parts etc.. when taking these apart.

You sir are a lucky man. Right to the source!

Standard modifications cannot invalidate warranty. There's been some legal rulings on that in various jurisdictions. And anyway, battery modules are very unrelated to your audio equipment.

I was affected too wit this recall. Ford called me one day telling me a battery module needed to be changed. I did not have any symptoms either before the repair. I have an early 2022 build.

I love that Ford gave real thought to repairability of the battery pack. Munro folks showed how it can be repaired down to replacing individual elements. Great stuff and promising for the long term maintainability of the truck.
