Official summary
Some 2020 Aviator vehicles equipped with a 3.0L hybrid engine and built on or before 18-Jul-2020 may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0BCD stored in the inverter system controller (SOBDMC). This may be due to the software in the SOBDMC. To correct the condition, reprogram the SOBDMC with the latest software level of the appropriate Ford diagnostic scan tool. For claiming, use causal part 7B012 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
