What's wrong?
The Vehicle Dynamics Control Module on the 2017 Ford GT runs software tied to the car's vehicle dynamics systems. In this recall, that software package is part of the earlier 18V707 remedy for the hydraulic rear wing system. The remedy is meant to address a rear wing valve block that leaks hydraulic fluid.
Some GTs were marked as repaired under the earlier recall, but the correct Vehicle Dynamics Control Module software was not installed. Ford traced the problem to the service tool used during the dealer repair. The tool was supposed to upload the latest remedy software from Ford, but on the affected vehicles it installed software that did not fix the recall condition.
That means the vehicle still lacks the intended software remedy for recall 18V707. There is no warning sign before failure.

- Bring the Ford owner letter if you received one.

What happens at the repair
Once Ford opens the dealer repair, a Ford technician will update the dynamics control module software and replace the rear wing check valve if replacement is needed. Parts and labor will be free under the recall. Ford uses its standard reimbursement plan for owners who already paid for a related repair before the recall notice. Keep any repair order, invoice, and proof of payment, then ask Ford customer service or the dealer service desk how to submit documentation.
