i understand why you say this, but you have nothing to worry about when it comes to recalls. Ford is incredibly serious about them to the point where if they suspect or are informed that something was done wrong, the technician who did the work incorrectly will reprimanded
journalism at its finest, truly...
imo, this sounds perfectly reasonable. if you end up having an issue with something that Ford says should be replaced, congratulations! you've probably found why it was replaced and the damage could've been prevented - not warrantable because the issue was...
how much you wanna bet that it's going to be like the GT500's where even if you plug them in, they dont work for some unexplainable reason? of course, that assumes you can even get them, because i also want to bet that the process to get the parts is like the Ford GT. proof of ownership...
as a couple other people have said, drive it around stock for a bit to get an idea of what you actually want to change vs what you thought you wanted to change. my top 5 recommendations:
1. only go for a carbon fiber hood if you do not care about hood struts and just closing your hood like a...
surprised nobody has pointed out what looks like a suspension and exhaust mode button on the steering wheel, right where the adaptive cruise distance adjustment and speed limiter toggle would normally be. guess that means no adaptive cruise control. also not sure how to feel about the lack of a...
it seems like there are at least 6 tunes
- Whipple stage 1 GT
- Ford Performance stage 1 GT
- Whipple stage 2 GT
- Whipple stage 1 DH
- Ford Performance stage 1 DH
- Whipple stage 2 DH
all of them are 49-state legal and do not have CARB certifications
yeah, thieves really like the new vehicle cats. my dealer once had someone overnight steal cats off an Econoline (yes, they still make those brand new) and try to steal a DPF from i think an F-600. key word there is "try", i think they realized the trouble with stealing such a big piece. we also...
i hate the recaro seats due to how bare of creature comforts they have. as someone who has owned both a M1HP and DHHP, i can say for certain that the Dark Horse is just better. handles better, newer tech, more power, and you still have access to a fair few of the mods the S550 has, especially...
for who knows what reason, Ford decided to not offer caliper piston boot service kits for the S650, so if there is any damage, you're going to need a whole new caliper, which can cost a lot. retail cost for a non-black painted calipers is ~$600 before parts adds their mark-up, and labor for...
OASIS Is the system that Ford dealerships used to check a vehicle for things such as factory warranties, Ford extended warranties, connected vehicle data and recalls. Leaving a recall open will not really do anything. So in theory, you could just leave it open and there would be no consequences
my dealer has not gotten one in for this recall, but i recommend still going to the dealer so the recall itself can be closed, as Ford probaby has you vehicle flagged in OASIS as with an open recall
the accessories guy at my dealer got some and is going to be installing one on a customer's Atlas Blue Handling Package Dark Horse. the supercharger itself already got here. really excited to see how it turns out!
