Official summary

Some 2024 Ranger vehicles may exhibit a concern with up to a 10 second delay loading off road mode when using the drive mode control on the center console. This may be due to the software in the accessory protocol interface module (APIM). Reprogramming or replacing the APIM will not resolve this condition. Inform customers that engineering is currently working on a solution for this condition and will be released via Ford Power-Up software updates delivered over-the-air (OTA) expected in Q2 2025. Software will update automatically if vehicle connectivity is enabled in the vehicle's settings. S

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.
