Not that i can tell

A loss of a ground anywhere can cause extremely weird things to occur elsewhere as circuits attempt to find paths to ground.

Perhaps this is the cause of some of the strange gremlins we've heard of.

Yeah just got the email. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s at a terrible angle and overtime over thousands of cycles it kind of frays. None the less, very annoying.

That's 3 recalls in 3 years of ownership for me. Not a single one addressed yet. Will wait and see if this is one that needs to be done or can wait until never to get done.

Yeah, that recall is now showing under my VIN on NHTSA and Ford.com but not my app.

Lol, anybody remember these. They were definitely trying to avoid ground issues.

I found the full write up on it. Gives more insight than what the OP posted initially.
