Ford E450 Recall??

I received a recall letter from Ford yesterday for my "2015 E-450 Econoline." It's an emissions recall and it says my "powertrain control module needs to be reprogrammed in light of changes to government test procedures."

I would assume a large number of you would receive the same letter - yet no one else has mentioned it yet.

Nothing here in SoCal. Will post if I do. I did however get a letter from Ford a few months ago saying they were randomly testing and I would be notified if they wanted to test mine. I think they were going to pay for my time.

Improve?
When the govt gets ahold of anything, they ruin it.
Look to get lesser mileage and reduced power.

Yes, I got the letter on my 2015. My first impulse was to throw the letter in the trash. Also, my second impulse 😎

I'm not strangled. Sorry to hear you are.

I'm not sure what all is involved in this but I'm happy that there is a system to correct things when they need corrected... and for free at that.

Got one also. Not decided what to do yet. It is a pain to take in to Ford dealer, but I know they will keep sending letters until I have it done.

Got mine this week, went to a Ford dealer, took literally 20 minutes, no charge as stated in the letter. Since NY has electronic monitoring of your vehicle for inspection, I could definatly see us not being able to get an inspection or re-registration if not done.
Trip at the end of the month, will keep an eye on mpg and report .

Had mine done on a 2014 on Friday the 8th. I have not noticed anything yet. I have records for all the fill ups so far so I will watch it and let you know if I see any change in that area.

Checked at Ford and NO recall yet!

I put in my vin and it came back with no recalls on my specific vehicle 2015 E-450 chassis V-10 . Have any of you who received the notice checked Ford's owner site?

These recalls must be USA only, contacted Ford of Canada and no recall for emissions.
