Ford powertrain control module (PCM) software has fail-safe temperature threshold values higher than intended for the engine.
The short version
Ford Motor Company reported a problem with the automatic transmission control module (tcm/pcm/tecm). Here is what owners need to know.
The powertrain control module (PCM) software has fail-safe temperature threshold values higher than intended for the engine. This may delay the fail-safe cooling strategy in the event of coolant loss and result in engine overheating.
If the engine overheats, it can result in engine damage and increase the risk of a fire.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will update the PCM software, free of charge.
