1004ron Report post Posted August 24, 2020 This is the response I got from the dealership service manager: Quote Ron , its not a recall as of yet just advance notice they sent to us yesterday Ford has not given any instructions as of yet will let you know when they do.

jmr061 Report post Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Well your service manager is a tad wrong there...IT IS A RECALL. Ford just doesn't have parts to remedy it yet. Owner notification won't happen until mid September if I remember correctly (info from Ford OASIS which matches original post).

AutoBuff Report post Posted August 24, 2020 I hope I haven't caused confusion by posting this recall notice. I know many owners will be notified by mail but one concern that I have is those that don't receive the notice because their vehicle was bought used or the owner has since moved to a new address.

No confusion, and agree it could assist someone that might not receive the mail when it arrives. I got early notice from Carfax on the day it was published.
