BCM recall - photo of one being fixed

[AZ_Ryan]

Not sure why anyone is hesitant to get this recall done unless you have only one dealer to choose from and is incompetent. it is like you are inviting car trouble down the road.
I mean the repair is hidden under the plastic panels, Ford uses the same sealant that I have seen a bazillion times to seal areas on vehicles coming from the factory.

Just because you never plan on or never have drove in the rain there is still a good chance you could get caught in unexpected rain storm, plus I am sure we all wash our cars routinely and use water to do so.

I would suggest getting it done to avoid issues down the road, there is no downside to this fix. Let say you do not get it done and your BCM gets wet and needs repair? I do not know about you but I would rather have a Ford tech do the BCM recall fix vs replacing the BCM and trusting them they dried every connection out. water creates all sorts of issues on electrical connections even after it dries.

Anyway your car, just my thoughts

You must really be naive about the incompetence of dealers and their techs.

Not naive just talking from experience

Here is what the dealer printed out for me. The body shop has to do the work. I hope they paint over the mess this sealant leaves. There were another 7 pages of instructions for testing the fix.

This is really interesting! I've seen the NHTSA recall bulletins before, but not recall instructions from the dealership's side of things.

Often times they can also be found on the NHTSA website...
