recall for software update?
I got a call from my dealership today telling me that there was a recall for my truck (Ecoboost). They said it was a simple software reprogram. Anyone know what this is for? The build date is May 10th, 2013.
Is this going to improve performance/mileage or hurt it?
Just curious what it is for as the dealer just left a message asking me to come in anytime.

I just had the recall done, it is for the trans, however, some other things have changed also. My mileage went up and the trans shifts more solid and with less 1-2 3-4 flare between shifts. It also holds 6th gear longer before it downshifts. My dash display operation has changed also.

I found the recall info.

Looks like it is emissions related.
I took it in yesterday morning around 8:30 and they said it would take about 2 hours to complete. They would be able to get to it right away since I had an appointment. I went back 4 hours later and they said it would be another 3 hours before they could get it in the shop because other people opted to sit and wait. I told them to just bring it around and I would have to bring it back another day. They said that once it was in I had to get it done so I had to argue with the service manager a little. I told them they can either give me another equivalent loaner vehicle for the weekend, or give me mine back. He reluctantly gave mine back.

That was not my flash number and it was not done for a recall.
