We are now rolling out Ford Power-Up 4 and 5 software updates to our customers in Europe. Details of these can be found later in this post.
Please read this first
To ensure a smooth delivery of these updates we strongly recommend:
The following is also very important to ensure undisrupted delivery:
We deploy updates, when they become available, in batches across a period of time. The vehicles selected for each batch will be chosen at random, so please don’t worry if you see someone online receive an update before you do, we haven’t forgotten you! It may take a few weeks for your updates to start arriving and there may also be a few weeks or more between each update. Your car will need to be driven regularly in order to receive all of the updates, if you are away on your holidays or business without your car it’ll be alright and the updates will resume once you are back home and on the road again.
With the many factors involved in deploying software updates to a vehicle, in a small number of cases, it may take more than one attempt to successfully deploy an update. If you do happen to receive an unsuccessful update please don’t panic, we will manage these situations remotely and ensure re-deployment happens, you won’t need to do anything.
Ford Power-Up Software Update 4 & 5 Summary
Please note: Different vehicles and different model years may receive different updates due to different SYNC 4 systems and different vehicle content.
Many updates are background updates. You will not notice any difference in your vehicle following these particular updates. These are essential to the continued smooth running of your vehicle’s connectivity, over-the-air functionality, and digital products and services such as FordPass. They must all be installed in order to receive any subsequent updates and new features.

Ford Power-Up Software Update 4 & 5 Details
For easier reading, I’m excluding background updates and am only providing details of software updates with notable driver content.
See summary above for applicable vehicles for each Ford Power-Up
Ford Power-Up 4.2.2.1
Ford Power-Up 4.2.2.1 brings several significant updates to SYNC:
Please note: As this is a major update to SYNC, you may find a small number of settings reverting to default. These may include your drive modes and automatic folding mirrors. I would recommend that after this update, you check that these settings are as you require them.

There a no notable UI changes for Focus in Ford Power-Up 4. Mustang Mach-E has a very different implementation of Sync 4 and this is updated in Ford Power-Up 4.2.2.1 for that vehicle. We do not publish a forward schedule for updates and only update each vehicle where it is required. I would recommend subscribing to this post and future posts to be notified on new updates when they become available.

Ok. Thanks.
But maybe you could atleast confirm if there will come anymore PU4 updates
atleast? There are clear information for Mach-e but not for Focus/Transit.
You confirmed previously that the PU5 update won’t be released for Focus/Transit as this contains nothing for these cars.

Hi Rob,
I haven't received an OTA update since December 2022, so almost a whole year ago.
That was: 22-PU0727-VI-FXB. My dealer did a full update of all modules that had an available update in February 2023. I wonder if the dealer update back then has become an issue for my car receiving the OTA after that. I have never received OTA in the PowerUp-3 series or in the PowerUp-4 series. I had someone to check the FDRS system for me a while ago and there has been a GTW-module update ready for my car for four months which for some reason has not been pushed through to my car. As I understand it, the GTW update is important to pave the way for other updates once it has arrived in the car. For information, my car was manufactured in April 2021 and is a job-1 car. Do you have the opportunity to take a quick look at my driving data, if the car has a problem receiving OTA if I send you my VIN in a private message?

Hi @Robin1 Yes, please send my your VIN via private message along with your consent for me to look at your connected vehicle data. Apologies that it will be early next week before I can take a look at it.

Hei @Rob ! Have you had time to look at my connected vehicle data since I sent you my VIN just before last weekend?
