2006 F150 Recall
Got a notice from my dealer that I have a recall. Ford listed it as service number 06C11. Dealer could not give me to much info, except that it is a reflash. One month old and I have to take it in.

Ford Customer Service Division
Ford Motor Company
P.O. Box 1904
Dearborn, Michigan 48121
February 2006
TO: All U.S. Ford and Lincoln Mercury Dealers
SUBJECT: Compliance Recall 06C11:
Certain 2006 Model Year F-150 and Mark LT Vehicles
Instrument Cluster Communication-Recalibration
AFFECTED VEHICLES
Certain 2006 model year F-150 and Mark LT vehicles built from Job #1 through December 13, 2005. Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS. In addition, for a list of vehicles assigned to your dealership, visit https://web.fsavinlists.dealerconnection.com. This information will be available on February 7, 2006.
REASON FOR THIS COMPLIANCE RECALL
The affected vehicles were built with a software error in the instrument cluster. This error could prevent the Antilock Brake System (ABS) warning light from illuminating if the ABS module ever became inoperative. Please note that this software error does not affect the function of the brake system.
SERVICE ACTION
Dealers are to recalibrate the instrument cluster to the latest calibration level. This service must be performed on affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner. Be sure that your Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS) is updated using release (B41.5) P4 or later. Do not demonstrate or deliver affected vehicles that remain in your new vehicle inventory until this compliance recall has been completed.
OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE
Owners of affected vehicles will be notified by mail in mid-February 2006. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.
PLEASE NOTE:
Federal law requires dealers to complete any outstanding compliance recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $5,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.
