Yeah I heard about this the other day. Looks like I will be taking it in here soon to get that fixed.

So what do you do? You just take your vehicle to a dealer or something?
And if so do you have to change your tune back to stock?

Ford said that they would be contacting all the owners with the affected trucks starting in may, but yeah all you do is take it to the dealer and they will fix it. I would set the truck back to stock a day or two before you plan on taking it in to make sure it doesn't throw them any codes when they check it. the reason why is because they may decide to reflash your hex code and if your tunes are still loaded then you will have to pay to get your gryphon unlocked as well as get your tunes redone. :/, for this repair that is not likely, but it is a dealer so they may still try and do something dumb like that.

My truck was made in MI and was affected. As we're always warned, I put it back to stock before going in. I just left the unit/pod on the dash and unplugged it so they wouldn't have to touch any parts of "my stuff"!
