Ford filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Jul 9, 2024, received Aug 7, 2024. It names 1 model year (2023). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationCertain 2023 Model Year Mustang Mach-E Vehicles 12 Volt (12V) Battery Test and Remote Climate Control Module (RCCM) Reset On the affected vehicles, the Remote Climate Control Module (RCCM) may stay awake after the vehicle is turned off, creating a Key Off Load (KOL). This may cause DTC B1616-04 to set, and a message “Electrical System Drain Service Required” to appear on the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) and may also lead to a discharge of the 12V battery if the vehicle is parked for approximately 10-15 days

One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Ford 24P16 a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the 24P16 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
Which vehicles does 24P16 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 1 model year: 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
