There has been no widespread extension of the 8 year / 100,000 mile warranty.
The NHTSA didn't make Ford do a stop sale. In fact, there was no stop sale order issued. There was a dealer hold issued. When an active recall is issued, new cars can't be sold without the recall being performed. That is LAW. So, if a recall was issued for floor mats (yes, they have been), then they have to wait until new floor mats are available, or remove them.
Thank you.
I'm not following this roundabout logic. Ford was not allowed to sell MMEs until the software was updated thus satisfying the recall, yet that wasn't a stop sale? It was a "dealer hold"? How is that different?
Can you show where the NHTSA made Ford do a recall, vs. Ford telling the NHTSA of the issue and doing a recall?
While it is true the NTSB did not initiate the recall through an investigation, the VAST majority of recalls are initiated by the manufacturer since they can be held liable for failure to recall a known safety issue.
@sukhoi_584th stated pretty clear that Ford was made to do a recall by the NHTSA. That is false, as you note.
If I was an MME owner, I would have to wonder why the MME seems to be sucking hind tit.
My HVBJB replacement was covered ??‍If I was an MME owner, I would have to wonder why the MME seems to be sucking hind tit.
For example, in Sept. 2022 I received a letter from Ford about my wife's 2017 Edge, CSP 22N12. It said that over time the flex plate(??) may develop cracks and cause a rattling noise at start-up or while driving.
Long story short, Ford will cover the repair "100% coverage up to 10 years and 100,000 miles".
Also, 50% coverage up to 120,000 miles.
Then, TODAY, I get another letter from Ford concerning my 2016 F-150. Seems that the tailgate can drop when you don't want it to. CSP 21M06.
Same deal, except "repair will be available for 10 years or 150,000 miles".
No debate please, this is just a public service announcement about what Ford can do, when they want to.
Maybe current MME owners will get the same coverage. Eventually
Right now HVBJB repair is covered 100% up to 8 years 100,000 miles. The current software recall also does it’s job allowing drivers to get their vehicle serviced before it completely stops, where it didn’t before. It’s a crappy problem to have, but so is having your tailgate drop unexpectedly when your carrying a load in the bed. But I guess the problem you understand is better then the one you don’t.
I was just informing forum members that ICE vehicles seem to get CSP coverage for 10 years and 150,000 miles. I wonder why?
It’s not ICE vs EV. It’s because tailgate is covered by bumper to bumper only which runs out at 3yr/36000miles which was determined to not be adequate to cover the 500k+ vehicles affected by the design flaw. The F150 CSP also came out 7 years after the first truck with that problem came off the line, not 7 months. 8yr/100k miles *should* be enough to catch the flaw that causes the HVBJB to fail for the 60k or so Mach-E’s affected with the improved detection via the software recall. If it’s not they will look into whether there is a business case to justify a CSP that extends the coverage, just like they did with the two vehicles you have.
Agree, and they have a huge problem with selection bias in their results. You see this in the variation of results between badge engineered vehicles. For example, a Buick will rank far above the GM version of the vehicle which rolls down the same assembly line. Presumably, this is because the buicks are bought by older folks who don't a.) Don't put many miles on their vehicles, and; b.) Don't use the tech features as much, but it begs the question: what are these survey results really telling us?
