New 150 Pro Sr 23 had sensor recall replaced day prior. Then this message and truck went to limp mode. Next day I called dealer and got appointment 4 weeks out in July. They said to have it towed.

I went to move the truck to a better spot for tow truck and there were no warnings and the Vehicle Health changed from Alert to Good. I see the software was updated.

What just happened?

Is the truck reliable?

Keep an eye on it and don't panic.

I had the same on-again/off-again powertrain malfunction warning. Truck never behaved any differently. The repair ended up being a module that controls transmission shifting. No issues since.

Could be first signs of a battery cell issue or it may have been an issue with the update and has reset itself and may never show up again.

Stay cool and have a Dos Equis. 😊

Or Ocho Equis if you're really freaked out :)

Hi there! Would you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership name and location? I’d like to look into this concern on my end.
