Recall 20C03: Daytime Running Lights (DRL) Function

1908 Views 4 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  cheetah4570
Today I received a new recall notice through FordPass. It popped up earlier but now it is gone. Something about daylight running lights with low beam light causing problems for other drivers. It talked about a software fix through one of the control modules, and it looked like something that could be done pretty easily in Forscan. Anyone else received this notice? I wanted to put up the recall number and details, but it is gone from my phone.

OK, I found the notice through an Internet search. Here's what popped up earlier. Anyone know the Forscan fix?

NHTSA Recall Number: 20V097 NHTSA Date:FEB 21, 2020 Ford Recall number: 20C03
Status:11 - RECALL INCOMPLETE
Recall Description:DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP FUNCTION
Risk to Safety:THE INCREASED PHOTOMETRIC INTENSITY FROM THE DRL WHEN COMBINED WITH THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP FUNCTION DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS 108 AND MAY REDUCE THE VISIBILITY OF OTHER DRIVERS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy Program: OWNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED BY MAIL AND INSTRUCTED TO TAKE THEIR VEHICLE TO A FORD OR LINCOLN DEALER TO HAVE THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION UPDATED. THERE WILL BE NO CHARGE FOR THIS SERVICE
Also showing up in FordPass app for me
As I understand it, the feds don't want the outer ring of LEDs on as DRLs when the headlights come on. The LEDs should go off. Easy enough to change it in forscan but that won't stop Ford from wanting to reflash your truck.

Problem is, does that change various forscan changes back to "as built"? I am happy with it running as it is and don't want any changes.

Amen. I like it as it is, and I love all the other minor adjustments I have made with Forscan.
