Guest matt Guests Posted 01/01/03 10:05 AM Share Posted 01/01/03 10:05 AM This must have been the same "recall" I was hit with during my first service last week.The dealer required both sets of keys for some "reprogramming".

Guest anthoc Guests Posted 06/01/03 04:41 AM Share Posted 06/01/03 04:41 AM The body computer or body electronic module controls the door locks, power windows timer, interior lamps, keyless entry, etc. This issue is a campaign, not a recall. Recalls are only done with major safety problems. Campaigns are when there is a problem that can be fixed at the dealers but the problem poses no safety risk.I'll explain about this one. Sometimes environmental factors show up only when the car is out in the field and then software needs to be upgraded. The actual fix prevents a problem from occuring where you may not be able to get into the car with the key fob. You could still get in with the key. It only happens in areas of high radio interference. Software listens for signals from the keyfob but can get bombarded by radio interference. This fixes it. Not a serious problem and easy to fix. Hope that helps. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/479-factory-recall/#findComment-5161 Share on other sites More sharing options...
