Emission Recall 24E10

[Chipster]

This seems to be focused on 2016 3.5 equipped Edges but I am not sure about that. I am wondering if this so called software "fix" will degrade performance and or long term drivability? I expect it's too early for anyone here to have had the recall performed, but when you do (if you do) please respond to this thread with any changes you might notice with your Edge. Seems odd that it only seems to be targeting the 2016 model year and that if there were an emission issue that it would only be known about now?

The Owner Letter you received mentions only "2016" because that's the Model Year of your Edge.

 

 

 

I expect the "over time" revelation of the problem is why 2015-2018 Edges are now subject to the Recall.

 

I do look forward to your personal assessment of the updated PCM software's affect upon your Edge's drivability! 

 

Good luck!

Have a 2018 Ford Edge Titanium with the 3.5L in our family fleet and received the same recall. 
 

interested to see if this could have ruined our catalytic converters as our check engine light went on and it could only be resolved with a new Front bank catalytic converter.  Shop said both converters were bad and not passing the before and after temperature test, but I only replaced the front one as that was the bank the code was triggering.  
 

This was after trying to replace both O2 sensors on that bank.

That is a good question! What is your average daily MPG? Mine is a little over 24 MPG in around town driving and a little bit better doing over the open road driving. I wish I had an idea as to what the end result will be after the recall work in terms of drivability, and performance.

The recall was also inclusive of my 2018 Ford Edge, unsure what other years it extends to. My initial response was also to question the effect this "fix" would have on my performance. Interested to hear further feedback...

I remember the questions on how a PCM update could affect coolant intrusion on the 1.5 in the Escape, and many didn't get it done. Fast forward to them getting coolant intrusion and not being eligible for the one time block replacement because they didn't get the PCM update (it was speculated that they were going to lower the boost and other things). I guess that SSM had more details, that it kept the electric coolant pump going longer after shut down, but still I made sure I got it done. I guess this one and caring if emissions output is worse than it should be matters.

 I am a bit suspicious on how Ford got away with (I assume) being out of allowable tailpipe emissions for so long before doing anything about it. I would have thought this forum would have been full of people that live in states that require emissions check complaining as to their vehicle failing that test. That didn't happen, right? What changed?

In my state OBD-II (1996 and newer) is plugged in and uses onboard diagnostics for pass/fail. Only older vehicles are put on a dyno and tailpipe sniffed. If it isn't throwing a code, and isn't showing too many tests not completed, then it passes. Legend has it that CA has sniffers along roads and can fail cars? I don't know if I believe that or not.
