Got the notification on ford pass. It directed me to the ford owner site where it says there are no downloads available for either of my vehicles (‘19 Raptor and ‘19 Explorer). Both are currently on 3.3.

I believe the last step of the sync update is supposed to be reporting the upgrade; you insert a usb, get a small file saved and you in turn upload that file too owner.ford.com

if you’ve done a USB upgrade and not done that step, the site thinks you are at a lower level. The 3.4 upgrade that many of us have done had no provision to do the reporting, so sync update notifications coming to anyone running 3.4, is almost certainly a false alarm.

I got the FordPass message as well. It pointed me to the owner site with directions to do a USB update.

I don’t want Alexa, but if you can disable it, and there are other advantages, I would consider doing the USB update. Can you disable Alexa? And are there any functionality improvements outside of CarPlay that make it worth the trouble? I don’t use CarPlay in the Raptor.

Just got to my computer. Says no download available. How stupid. So why bother me with a notification?

I was able to download the file, and get it onto a USB. But I get this error message: PKG_ERR03 after I plug it into the truck. I have tried it twice now with the same results each time.

Those of us on the forum knew of the update a month(s) ago. I think they are just now notifying the "public". I did the upgrade to 3.3 and sent it back to Ford back when and I still the the notice yesterday. I was just at the dealer and they said I had the latest version.
