Symptoms of a Uconnect Box Error

Customers may observe a distinct message on their vehicle's radio screen. The primary symptom is the display of "Uconnect Box Error" accompanied by the message, "Uconnect Box requires service. Please visit an authorized dealer." This indicates a need for attention to the telematics system.

Understanding the Cause

The root cause of the "Uconnect Box Error" is a requirement for a software update to the Global Telematics Box Module (TBM). This module is crucial for the vehicle's telematics functions, and an outdated software version can lead to the displayed error message. The TSB specifies that the TBM software needs to be updated from version 5.53 to 5.65.

Important Warnings for Owners

Owners should be aware of several key points regarding this software update:

  • Mandatory Update: Unlike some optional updates, the TBM software update must be performed. While owners may have the option to schedule the update for later, there is no option to decline it indefinitely.
  • No Reimbursement for Dealers: This TSB is for informational purposes only, intended to guide dealers on the FOTA update process. It explicitly states that the document does not contain a Labor Operation (LOP) for reimbursement, meaning dealers cannot bill for the update under this bulletin. This implies the update is handled through the FOTA system directly to the vehicle.
  • Future Launch Date: The national launch for this FOTA update is expected to begin on August 15, 2025. Owners should anticipate receiving the update around or after this date.
