I received the recall letter in the mail yesterday, and my Explorer started to overheat in traffic. Made an appointment with the dealer for firrst thing in the morning.

I received my letter a couple of days after I had the 12B36 update done. I am still waiting for a letter to notify me about the MFT performance update availablity even though I had mine done in March.

Got mine in the mail today "Customer Satisfaction Program 12B36". I am due for inspection in May so will roll it into that. I do have issues from time to time where the fan is not blowing cold air, especially at idle waiting for a traffic light or something like that. It starts blowing cold again when I start moving and picking up speed. It is intermittent though....

Brought mine in this morning for the cooling fan recall, it failed. They are having fans shipped overnight so it will get done tomorrow. They also said they "think" A/C issue is related but will be checking that out as well.

As I mentioned above, the updated reprogram causes the fans to periodically run at high speed to reduce possible corrosion of the cooling fan contacts.
I did notice that the climate settings were changed from what they were but I didn't know about the seat memory settings. I'll have to check and reprogram them. Thanks for that info.

I got my notice last week, but was already taking the Ex back to the dealer as the Nav is doing strange things since the MFT upgrade. I was puzzled by this though - how does high speed reduce cooling fan contact corrosion? Why not just cover the contacts? Ford weirdness?

Was in Chicago traffic this morning (rare event for me, but had to go to McCormick place today for an event). Got really hot, again. Low 60's this morning. Turned off the AC and cranked up the heater. This helped a TON. Temps fell back in-line.

Goes to the dealership on Wednesday.

Took my Explorer in to the dealership on Saturday (May 5th) for the 12B36 and while they were trying to do the update, the computer in the truck failed!!! Wouldn't even turn on!!! So they said they would have to order a new one (I'm assuming a new ECU or PCM) but either way it's covered under warranty and at least they're taking care of it. I'm just not accustomed to having a fairly brand new vehicle fail like this after a simple update.

Got mine done today. In and out in less than an hour, didn't replace fans just cpm update. Build Jan 2011. lets hope this works...

I had the 12b36 recall done this morning and now on the radio screen I am getting "LOW BATTERY POWER SAVER TURN OFF IGNITION OR START VEHICLE".

Anyone get that? The tech at the dealership said the battery voltage dropped below 12.7 volts and it went into power saver mode.
