New firmware update - two "blips" since

[SixGDoubleB]

2023 BB has been running perfectly since purchase. Computer has been totally reliable.

Last week, began getting software update requests from the computer. With some reluctance, I scheduled the update.

In the past two days, 1) CarPlay has failed to launch once -- but the computer did see my iPhone attached, and 2) while driving on the highway, abrupt warning tones accompanied by a "Tire Pressure Sensor Failure" warning appeared on the driver screen. Since the tire pressure sensor warning has not repeated, I'm thinking it's a false positive.

Have resisted the latest update alert since everything is working OK...

Adding to this: since this post, I've received two more "Tire Pressure Sensor Failure Alerts." The Ford App registered these alerts with a service recommendation. However, right now, the Ford App shows Vehicle Health as "Good" and displays the Tire Pressure illustration with "No Active Alerts."

Not sure what to make of this. Any suggestions?

Updates from Ford make me more nervous than Microsoft computer updates did in the 80’s and 90’s, and that’s saying a lot.

If these are the only blips you have experienced you have the most rock solid Bronco I've ever heard of.

That said, might be worth taking your vehicle in to have the TPMS system checked out. There may be an issue with a receiver or harness connecting it on your Bronco. I'm not certain exactly where that's located at - a parts listing says "Floor console"?

I'd recommend monitoring tire pressure on your dash, not in the app. A few less things to go wrong.

I'm jelly, I have never had any issues with updates...seamless!

I've had two updates since owning my 24 and no issues so far. Reading about some of the issues that some have experienced on this forum, I'm waiting for a glitch of some sort to happen sooner than later.

Thanks. The dealer in my area is not easy to engage. Want to make sure it's really worth it before attempting. May consider looking farther from home.

And yes, I agree, this machine has been amazing. Early on, I did have an issue with a loud "clunk" on abrupt stops, happened twice, now I'm easier on the brakes. Also I've been using Ford Spec 5W-30 for the two oil changes I've done (8200 miles), but folks are saying to use full synthetic.

Aside from that, totally fine.
