I don't either, but when they get the parts they can still fix it to prevent later problems. The ones that they're doing immediately are the ones that have the problem
I got a letter from Ford saying there is a recall on some type of fitting on the gas tank. Parts not available but will be soon...if you see gas on the ground when you move the E contact Ford dealership right away....anyone else get this? 2011 Escape Limited 72,000 miles
seems like a long time ago I received a recall notice from Ford that the seal on my gas tank lines needed to be inspected or replaced......never heard back from Ford about getting it inspected ... like I said it has been a long time science I got the notice ......anyone else?????
The post shows they got letters about a year ago...Just like me.......no follow up letter to get the recall done...just like me...a year seems like a long time and still waiting.
My letter came in Dec 2016.
It states on the outside of the envelope it came in,
right above the address window:
"SAFETY RECALL NOTICE"
There's also a banner on the right side of the envelope
"IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL INFORMATION"
"Issued in accordance with Federal law."
SAFETY RECALL 16S41 is the number.
My vehicle doesn't exhibit any symptoms, so I never went to a dealer.
Ford will notify me by mail when service parts are available, then they
will make a service appointment at that time.
I haven't heard a word from Ford yet. Kind of poor (slow) service
for a safety recall. I'll contact Ford, and post their reply once I get it.
I contacted Ford thru http://WWW.fordowner.com,
had to create an account, looked up safety recalls, and found the below message,
along with the throttle body Field Service Action item.
Ford never notified me, so it looks like I'll need to contact my local dealer for service.

I just found out today that Ford never did notify owners that parts are now available.
I went to www.fordowner.com,
created an account, and looked up safety recalls for my VIN.
Sure enough, parts are now available, and it's up to me to schedule
the service.
I would suggest anyone who's still waiting, to do the same (create an acct @ Fordowner.com)
and search your recalls.
I'm not too pleased about having to do it, but at least the possible problem
can be serviced now.
