GEN 1 Recall 19S07: 2011-2013 powertrain control module

There are still a lot of people who have not had this recall done. I am one and it's being done right now along with a rear differential rebuild on my 2013 Raptor.

I have had a reflash of pcm
I have not exhibited downshifts to 1st
However I do have hard downshifts into 3rd gear

This has consistently occurred before and after the PCM Reflash

I am not a LeadFoot on the pedal either

Question for anyone willing to answer: Someone asked earlier this year but didn’t see a response, can anyone speak to dealing with the PCM update with a factory Roush tune (have JDM tune which I would revert to factory Roush, but that’s where my issues start)? Ford told me some crap about having to send in my PCM to get it taken care of which would take weeks, or go to a Roush authorized dealer of which there aren’t any in my area.
Maybe a simpler question: If I replace the lead frame myself is there confirmation that I bypass the need to reprogram all together? If that’s the case I’ll get that done in a weekend rather than spending time and money to figure this f-ing PCM fiasco out with Roush/Ford. Thanks for any insight.

There is no such thing as a "Ford Factory Roush Tune". If that's what your implying.
Ford cooperation has nothing to do with a Raptor that's been Supercharged....Period..

First,
I would call @New Nick at JDM and ask them if their latest Tune has the recall update on the TCM part of the Tune.

Second,
Assuming you do or don't have a Supercharger installed!
I'm pretty sure the dealer can flash the PCM with the JDM Tune on it, no need to return to stock.
The problem is, if you have a Supercharger then you would need to load the JDM Tune back on before driving it..
The Ford dealer could get you your stock OEM Tune which you can not run anyway and your going to pay for that.
You just start over again and save the stock Tune if you get one (or JDM or Roush) to your SCT device, now that it is a OEM Tune.
You'll probably have to unmarry and reset the SCT device to do that.
Also now is a good time to make sure you have the latest firmware installed on the SCT device,
SCT comes out with updates quite often!!!
Make sure you have the JDM Tune saved on your PC so you can import it back on the SCT device.
But call JDM to confirm what I'm saying, please.

Third,
Roush does not use a handheld device for their Tunes, therefor you need to send your PCM to them and they flash it with their hardware.
Don't go through a dealer, call Roush!
If you really want to go that route, the PCM is held in by two nuts and takes 5 minutes to remove.
You can then sent it over night or what ever to Roush directly with a return label.
By the way, Roush is going to charge you for that reflash.
Then your back to square one because Roush's Tune is encrypted and the dealer's laptop with Ford's software cannot flash it.

Forth,
I don't believe I've ever seen a post that a Tuned Raptor has had an issue with down shifting to 1st gear at 75 mph.
Now having said that, if they have a speed sensor failure or lead frame failure then it doesn't matter what Tune is on the truck.

Hello everyone! I'm so glad I found this forum as it has been incredibly helpful. It is now August of 2020 and I just bought a 2013 Roush SVT Raptor with only 13k miles on it. I drove it for about a week and suddenly it wouldn't shift out of first gear after leaving stop sign. Then began to get stuck in 5th gear. Shifting was horrendous and pretty much not drivable. Got a wrench and check engine light with code P0720 which is part of the 19N01 recall. My local dealership can't see me for weeks but I saw on someone's post that they had same problem and turned off traction control just as a shot in the dark and it worked. I did this and drove awhile then parked the truck. When I tried to drive it again a few hours later the CE light was off and it shifted perfect! I have to imagine the problem will come back and I still have an appointment to have the transmission lead frame changed. If anyone is currently having this issue give it a shot and please report back. Dealership was dumbfounded when I told them this seemed to cure the problem at least in the short term.

@Jessemack, just be very careful if they are touching your PCM to also address 19S07 for you. I couldn’t get a clear answer from FORD or Roush on how to get my PCM updated...so I decided not to take the risk involved with the update at this time. I did replace the lead frame myself and no issues. FYI I also have a 2013 Roush edition, but I have about 100K on yours . Yours must have been frozen in carbon or something. That mileage is incredible! Good luck brother!
