You'd have to remove the right kick panel and do the visible inspection as shown above. If its corroded, there are no BCMS, and the recall info is vague on availability. Based on past experience with Ford, I'd say there are no BCM's available, new car production gets first dibs. And thanks to...

I am unable to cut and paste it to here. If someone with better office skills than mine would like, I can e-mail you the attachment and you can find a way to post it so its clickable.

They are having us seal both sides, probably as a preventative measure.

The first 2 steps look to be about 2 hours. AS to the visibility, I won't know til we do a few and I can go look at one. Probably Monday, several salespeople have interested buyers and the were calling them yesterday! I will post the entire procedure on Monday when I get back to work.

I wouild not count on it. You know, there is a lot of talk on the forum about "stealerships" and those of us who have made a career in the car business, but I have stories for DAYS about how cutomers have tried to cheat and flat out fuck us over. With rare exception, every time I've tried to...

Its at work, I'll scan it Monday and post. I would not count on them accepting what you have done yourself to close the recall, for liabilityreasons, I know that I would not.

This doesn't apply to those who cars have been on hold, but if you take your car in for an oil change and they tell you you have an outstanding recall it's your choice whether to do it or not. They can't make you and you don't have to.

The goop repair is to be done to every car first, then water tested and other repairs to as follow. And you're right that's why they want pictures because if they don't get them they'll come back on us later and say we didn't do it. Ford cares about one thing, selling a car and watching it roll...

I would guess they are sealing both sides of the cowl, as it is hollow and water coming in the left side could migrate across and drop into the right side.

It looks like the windshield prying is done before the water test, as it says to let all the sealer set up before water testing. Further on, it shows how to remove the sill plate and kick panel on the right side where BCM 1 is located. BCM 2 is in the right side of the trunk. I only posted the...

I normally don't watch recalls this closely, but I have the vehicle in question and have friends who do, as well as ones who want to buy a car, but couldn't. The shop foreman got an e-mail on it and let me know.

That is the official procedure as of today. Yellow was available in 2024, and I'm guessing they chose it to show contrast. I don't know if the cowl covers it or not, its hard to tell from the pics. I'll keep an eye out for one in the shop and see. And as long as I've been in this business, I'm...

Well now the shop foreman tells me that the specific sealer that is required has very limited availability. He scored 30 tubes and was told that it will be a while til there is more. We will be required to apply the sealer as seen above, and may even have to send pics back to verify we've done...

Thie recall dropped today, for most, it will involve an inspection and sealant application. For the picky and OCD among us (myself included) this is what its supposed to look like. Plus, we are to lift the right lower corner of the windshield to shoot sealer under it, opening up the possibility...

So far, we have not had any with the issue.

I updated one of the sales managers, he said that once the recalls have been completed and the stop sell is lifted, that Ford will strongly incentivize the '25's to get them off the lot. May be an opportunity if you can be flexible on color and content...

No availability of new ones can't help but raise the value of used ones. I got a text from KBB this morning that my '24 has increased in value by 6.5%.

I was not trying to muddy the waters, just noticed it on OASIS this morning and thought I'd update. We're gonna have to damn near GIVE away these '25s by the time they resolve it!

I just now see the fix has pushed to Q1 2026, and the stop sell is still in place...

I bought a 10 year, 100K mile on Tuesday and its already showing up on OASIS! There is supposed to be a price increase Oct 1. If you by one, GET THE LIGHTING OPTION!!! The headlights and taillights are LED and have no replaceable bulbs. I've replaced two taillights so far at my dealership and...
