The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. 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.

Is the SYNC-25.1.7.10.1 repair free?
A over-the-air update is usually paid by the manufacturer on the vehicles it names, within the terms and time limit the document sets; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
Which vehicles does SYNC-25.1.7.10.1 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 25 model years: 2023 Ford Bronco, 2022 Ford Bronco, 2021 Ford Bronco, 2023 Ford Edge, 2022 Ford Edge, 2021 Ford Edge and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
