Update, I had my service appt this morning. They inspected it and said all looks good and no signs of stress. He stated the partial fix is the e-brake update some time end of May or beginning June the update will be out. They also heard the new parts the PIU get will likely be also applied to the non police units as well. Something about they heard it will be a 2 part recall. Basically Ford has not released the full recall yet because they are figuring things out still. He speculating the PIU get the priority on parts because of just the supply chain issues ( I understand we want those fixed first). He did also note they have not seen any of those failures happen as of yet.

As your dealer appears to be attempting a "manual" recall due to the circumstances from the sale, it's safe to bet it will likely have the recall performed on the initial day of release.
It is typical dealership process to apply recalls such as this on unsold (and held) units prior to recalling customers. (Yours would likely fall in this same criteria). This allows dealers to resume sale of vehicles (which will likely have customers who have been awaiting delivery) and then "unaffected" customers will be contacted for convenience scheduling.

My deal on a 2022 ST is complete but the dealer is holding the delivery until the recall can be complete.
Here is what the FCSD Zone Manager | Pittsburgh Region told me on 5/3/22:
Unfortunately, the customer’s information from NHTSA does not enable us to remove the recall. The recall is not for the E brake. The recall is for a PCM update to stop the rear axle bolt from fracturing. The upcoming PCM update will do nothing to the E brake. There is nothing further that can be done. My boss expects to hear an update on this recall sometime this month.

The Recall is for the PCM to apply the E-Brake automatically at all times when the car is placed in park. They are not doing anything at the moment about the bolt fracture except for on PIU explorers. With that fix possibly coming to general explorers down the road according to my service manager.
