Cold start this morning, and out of nowhere I get this message. Didn't come back after restarting. Haven't touched anything related to the trailer system yet, so definitely strange and random. Anyone had this come up yet?

I haven’t seen it — but here are a few fuses to check:

1. Engine Bay Fuse Box — Check the “Trailer Brake Control Module Fuse” (30A) #42

2. Passenger Side Fuse Box - Check the “Trailer Brake Switch Fuse” (5A) #21

There’s a recall/update on your rear sensor of the truck mines at the shop getting reprogram now.

Is it the trailer perimeter alarm? I’m not seeing anything else.

Interestingly enough, I just went in for that flash, and no problems afterwards until now. Haven't seen it again, so maybe a fluke.

How did you find out about the recall? Ford hasn't sent me anything.
 
I bought my truck 2 1/2 weeks ago and on the FordPass app on my phone, it showed Recall.

Interesting. I have had my truck almost 3 weeks and nothing on my fordpass.
 
Wish there was more details on the nature of that Trailer Perimeter Alarm issue. Didn't get a good answer from dealer also.
 
The service manager said it had to do with a update to the system.

I picked it up yesterday works fine now.

Did it correct something specific you were experiencing? I just took mine in just because I got tired of seeing the recall on my FordPass app. LOL
 
This just started happening on my 21 tremor, any other details as to the issue?
