Ford Recalls

[Jimbo33]

My 24 Mustang gt premium has 2 open recalls with no fix available. The water intrusion recall was stopped because the sealant they used was ineffective. I just looked it up and the correct sealant is still not available. The NHTSA lists this as a high priority safety recall and suggests getting a loaner until fixed. The recall was issued last August. Mean while the latest recall was for the BCM software and again no fix available. When Jim Farley told the financial community his goal was to drive down the cost of recalls because Ford leads the pack by far and it is expensive. Don't even get me started on my wife's 22 Escape. At no point did I expect that Ford would lower recall costs by simply not doing them, even safety recalls.

You should be very thankful you didn't buy a GM product with a V8 engine! My neighbor waited over 6 months to get his engine replaced, only to have that one fail two month later. He's now driving a Ford F150 TT V6.

there's a 3rd recall. Just today I got the letter about the windshield wiper possibly malfunctioning in freezing weather. There's a recall with no fix until March 2027.

Interesting. I took mine in for water intrusiin recall and they supposedly fixed it as its no longer listed as a recall in my Ford app and I signed off on the paperwork.

Can you explain more about the sealant issue not working? Did you already have a leak, or did they tell you the sealant wouldn't work and to wait? There is nothing in my recall saying the sealant is unavailable.
