Emission Recall 24E10 - Certain 2015-2018 Edge with 3.5L Engine - Reprogram Powertrain Control Module (PCM)

I also received the notice for our 2018 Edge. I'm very reluctant to get this done without further details. What emissions are potentially not met in real conditions? What does this reprogramming cause?
 
I'm all for reducing actual emissions, but I'm concerned it will just decrease MPG or decrease performance by tuning the emissions for some theoretical compliance.
 
It is just that Ford has done things like this in the past where they issued recalls that were 'easy for them' but not in the benefit of the owner.
(E.g. this recent one 24-2188 Ford Wheel Technical Service Bulletin where instead of replacing a vacuum line to fix the partial engagement of 4A, they just cap them which disables 2H mode and always runs in 4A.)

I got this notice as well for my 2015 Edge. It just so happens that the check engine light has periodically come on and off and am getting codes P2196 and P2198. Could this be a new Mass Air Flow Sensor or a new vapor canister purge valve is needed? Or could reprogramming the power control module possible fix this check engine light coming on? Any thoughts on this?

Doubt this recall would affect that Mass Air Flow Sensor code, but who knows. 

 

A P0420 or a P0430 Catalyst Efficiency code for a bad Catalytic Converter i think would be a likely result of this lack of proper programming since it affects tailpipe emissions.
