Troubleshooting Your BlueCruise Map Updates

If your maps are not updating or you are not receiving map updates, confirm if your map has an expiry date or a map part number. 

To check your expiry date or map part number: 

  1. Select Settings using your vehicle's SYNC®** screen. 
  2. Choose General
  3. Tap About SYNC and scroll down to BlueCruise Map Expiration
    • If you see an expiry date, and it has passed, visit your preferred Ford Dealer to update your BlueCruise maps.
    • If you see a map part number, contact the Ford Customer Relationship Centre using our Live Chat option or by calling 1-800-565-3673.

Note: Although a BlueCruise map expiration date may display on the SYNC screen, you should not lose your hands-free highway driving capability as long as you have an active BlueCruise subscription.

Requires purchased 3‑year connected service plan with regular map updates, FordPass® App, and modem activation.
