SSM 50975 - 2017-2022 Various Ford And Lincoln Vehicles - Deep Sleep Mode Notification In FordPass® And/Or LincolnWay® Cell Phone Apps

Some 2017-2022 Ford/Lincoln customers may experience a notification in the FordPass®/LincolnWay® app indicating Vehicle Has Entered Deep Sleep Mode. This occurs when the vehicle has not been started for 14 consecutive days, battery voltage is at/below 9.5 volts or the body control module (BCM) 12 volt battery state of charge (SOC) drops below 50%. A warning may also set if the telematic control unit (TCU) has received an over the air update. The TCU powers down all communication when in this mode and app features are disabled. Manually start the vehicle to wake if from mode. More information is located in the app under: Account > Help > search 'Deep Sleep' in the entry box. If the condition remains, check the BCM 12v SOC. If the SOC does not change after charging the battery or after BMS reset is performed, continue with normal battery and/or BMS sensor diagnostics.

10R80/10R80 MHT or 10R60 may exhibit a momentary transmission neutral-out condition while in drive. Vehicle may
also have diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P07E6 and/or P07E4 stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) or
transmission control module (TCM) and/or a possible audible noise. This may be due to a leak in the park valve
circuit. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to inspect the park system hardware for wear or
damage and replace the valve body separator plate with an improved valve body separator plate.

Ford is recalling 118 units of its 2023 Explorer SUV because a missing or loose connection can result in a sudden change in steering effort or even cause the brakes to fail.

Ford tells the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that “the right front lower knuckle-to-strut fasteners may not have been installed or torqued to specification during assembly.” That can cause a wheel to slip out of alignment suddenly.


That could increase the effort required to steer. “Additionally, if the brake hose contacts the tire, knuckle, or strut, this can cause abrasion damage and a brake fluid leak. A brake fluid leak can result in extended braking distances or a loss of braking,” the company says.


Customers might notice a tire slipping out of camber, “leaning inwards at the top,” as the problem develops. They might also detect a burning smell caused by the tire rubbing against other parts.


Ford says it knows of no accidents or assemblies related to the problem, which was discovered at the factory.
