As the owner of a 2016 Edge powered by the 3.5 engine and made aware of the Achilles heel (internal water pump) that this engine has few years before I bought mine, but was not aware of the scope of this issue. One of the aspects of this issue that I am very interested in is what sort of mileage / time did you owners have on theirs when the problem showed itself? One other question is how proactive with preventive measures (reg. oil changes & coolant flushes) were you? When the pump took a crap, did you catch it before your motor was trashed, and if not, did you put another motor in, or was yours re-buildable? What sort of cost was involved in making your Edge “right” whether from a total failure or just replacing the pump with the other associated parts?

Thanks for your, & other staff vigilance!

I thought when I had my brake hoses replaced that would be the end of this issue. I guess not! https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a65921786/ford-edge-lincoln-mkx-suvs-brake-hose-failure-recall/

It is weird, and you have to wonder why now after all these years?

I wanted to revisit this item as I too have decided to "wait & see" if there were any other members that suffered dire consequences from getting this reprogramming done. If you have had issues not already expressed here please share your experience and what consequences you might have had. Thanks!

Not sure if anyone else has posted this story up, but just in case not, here it is. https://www.jalopnik.com/1920343/honest-mechanic-finds-returns-wallet-lost-in-ford-edge-by-autoworker/

Please indicate model year and engine. I might be in the running for low mileage with my 2016 3.5 with only 20,350 miles.

Do you think they will? I am doubtful about that, and I am really doubtful about getting it done for mine. Does anyone happen to know if you took your Edge in for some unrelated issue if your dealer's service dept. would force this reprogramming on the vehicle even if you didn't want it to be done?

Are there any proven driveability or performance issues associated to getting this TSB done? I see where there were possible Cat. issues, but were they proven to be caused by the lack of this reprogramming, or were they as a direct result of the reprogramming? What about your MPG following the reprogramming, better, worse, about the same?

I just checked mine and it is still open: Recalls * Reprogram powertrain control module Recall Incomplete Description Reprogram powertrain control module Campaign# 24E10

So you think it was pulled for everyone that got the letter?(I haven't checked yet) How do you know?

Interesting! I'll have to check mine. Congrats. on the clean smog check. To everyone else that got this letter and that has not had this reprogramming done: Does your vehicle still show that this reprogramming still needed?

That strikes me as a significant decrease.What were your avg. speeds? What about your MPG for urban or non interstate driving?

This begs the question of how many owners unaware of this issue have had to replace their CAT's on their dime? Additionally, just how far out of Fed. or State emissions spec. is it in this "as manufactured"state? If this is in fact a problem why haven't we seen owners complain about failed emissions testing in years past?
