No over-the-air OTA update since Oct. 2023

[Sea Ranch]

I have a 2022 Lightning Lariat EB, delivered August 2022 which has been wonderfully reliable. It is the most satisfying vehicle that I have ever owned. I recently checked the software history and noticed that the last update was October 2023. I also received a message on my FordPass that there is a suspected issue with my 12V battery. It will be looked at by my Ford Dealer tomorrow. Is there anything that I should discuss with them associated with these issues?

Ask them if you have any updates that can be loaded?
There are several which are expected to go by OTA, they might refuse to spend time with them since Ford won't cover the time spent, but IF the battery warning issue has a related {non-OTA} fix, this would be the perfect time to do it.

BTW, did you get the 12v BMS replaced already?

Thank you. The only work that has ever been done is dealing with the rear lightbar issue shortly after I took delivery and the windshield motor replacement. It has been in a couple of times where they downloaded software updates.

Your truck likely needs the improved BMS, hopefully they do the work for free, the CSP regarding that expired on 1/5/2025
