That's the Air Design spoiler. Ford and all the parts vendors sell it. It uses double sided tape and adhesive. Mine lasted through an Arizona summer with no issues. It seems pretty sturdy. There are several threads on these spoilers if you do a forum search.

They won't remove the recall status though.

I haven't even looked. Are these Motorcraft AGM batteries?

I'd personally wait to change the oil after storage. There is no reason to not use full synthetic, unless you are trying to save money.

I've mentioned this in a few threads now. I'm pretty sure the switch from heartbeat to chime is a low battery indicator.

That shouldn't happen after a 200 mile drive. I agree, it seems like something else is going on.

All good points. I'm sure many modern cars aren't charging 100%. And to be clear, I'm not worried about a dead battery necessarily. I've never had a hard start or voltage warning in the car. But, when you are getting these messages, and you can't perform software updates, it seems like either...

Which cam do you have and how is it powered?

The issues seems to be the batteries on these car aren't getting fully charged on a regular driving, or they are draining way to fast due to the electronics. My guess is the latter. There are tons of people on this forum who couldn't get the latest update due to a low battery condition and...

Got this message on my phone last night. First time I've ever seen it. I hooked up my battery tender and charged it over night. This morning on my way to work, I got the chime again on startup, instead of the heartbeat. On my way home everything was normal and got the heartbeat on startup...

Sounds like another inept dealer that doesn't know what's going on.

I can see both sides to this. Recaros are for track use only. So you certainly dont need heated seats and the added weight of electronics and motors. But at the price point, I think a compromise could have been reached similar to other high end track cars.

I can't imagine 1LEs came in base trim though, no?

Thats because it's not piston slap. It just got repeated by every internet yokel so much that people who dont even know what piston slap is starting repeating it. The BBQ tick really got people in a tizzy for a few years.

Nah. Sounds like a game of internet telephone. This is exactly what I mean by going down the rabbit hole. I spent years on the 6G forum and never heard about any "teething issues". Not saying they don't exist, but you'll need to show me some numbers on those "many many warranty claims". Lol

Source?

Just one of many online theories. That certainly doesn't prove anything.

The typewriter or BBQ tick is pretty distinct. But you are right, many people conflate injector tick, the 2k rattle, and BBQ tick as the same thing. No. "Piston slap" is/was often wrongly thrown around on the internet as a reason for the tick or the "2k rattle". But there was never a bore...

I approve of all of that. But only if it's 60 year anniversary car. 🤪
