Great....drive that 400 mile road trip with confidence....YIKES!
IMHO you should be fine with your 15 SHO....the 13-14 SHO are more susceptible and prone to failures such as the FDM,and any such Fuel related issues,especially the 13SHO,enjoy the trip.  Z
 
I was unfortunately not able to obtain any new information due to it being in the early stages of the recall but will definitely have an update once its available,basically have the same info as Sholxgt but an extended version.LOL.  Z

Yup...I skipped page 2.  Lazy.

Seems strange to me that they are going to notify customers Sept 12, but won't have the complete dealer bulletin until Nov 14.  I suspect that dealers are going to get barraged with phone calls, but not have any answers for two whole months.

This might be a recall that is best done during the later stages once the procedure and part is better known.

 
Huh, well I just replaced both this year, so I should have the updated part number.  The module is actually cheap.  $55 for the thing and its behind the right rear seat back, behind the carpet liner.  I mean super easy replacement.

That stupid thing on the hump Behind the seat back?
I was wondering what that was. I actually relocated mine the under the seat with some zip ties. It was always getting crushed by stuff when the trunk was full.

If this recall is indeed for that stupid module under the rear seat I'll hopefully be getting my $100 extended warranty deductible returned to me for when I had mine go out earlier this year.

Fingers crossed.... :D

Kevin They charged you Double the price for the part plus install hopefully they will reimburse you the same amount,HA.  Z
 
I bought my '13 cpo flex 04/30/16. this module failed and my car died 3 days after buying it. no recall at the time. paid a dealer to repair the car, and got a refund for the deductible from the selling dealer. hopefully it doesn't happen again!!
 
Recall for 2013/2015 Ford Taurus, Ford Flex, Lincoln MKS/MKT and Ford Police Interceptor vehicles equipped with the GTDI engines. Problem with the (PEM) could lose power to the fuel pump. Ford Recall # is 16S31.

That recall was issued last month and actually found out today the reason its still pending is in fact its either going to be a module replacement or they might need to update/reflash your PCM to the latest cal/update.  Z
 
OH, OK, I just got a notice from NHTSA yesterday and called Ford and no parts yet. This could be a real problem if the engine stalls on the freeway at 70+ MPH !!
 
Just took the SHO in (to correct a leak in the rear diff they serviced not even a month ago) and they snuck this into the invoice. Asked about it when i was reading and was informed they don't have the parts yet as well. Right before i left i pulled the codes and got P008B, hopefully this will make sure it gets fixed and not just "inspected" :(
 
I would advise anyone affected by this recall to revert back to stock tune prior to visiting there Ford Dealer and its from my understanding this will be either a module replacement or they might need to update/re-flash your PCM to the latest cal/update or both.  Z
 
I think for the time being it will be beneficial to always try to keep your tank FULL and to Keep the gas tank at least 1/4 full. This much gasoline, a 1/4 tank, keeps the fuel pump surrounded by gasoline, which helps keep the fuel pump cool.Running the tank less than 1/4 tank depletes this “coolant” and allows the fuel pump to run hotter. It is this heat from the pump, in addition to the ambient heat, that literally distills the gasoline in the tank. This precipitates out the solids and the sludges, which plugs the fuel pump filter. Having at least 1/4 tank of gas in the tank reduces all of these risks until a resolution to this recall is resolved.  Z
