Ford should act quicker than they are doing. The said vehicle could catch on fire anytime and Ford does not see an emergency here to get parts and take care of problem, they will wait until a life has been taken or someone is badly burned. We are talking of a fire risk here, like the Ford Pinto which could catch on fire anytime possible if hit on the back of car.

The recall notice (22V859), states that parts are now available to repair my vehicle and Ford’s corporate office stated this to me when I called. However the dealership that corporate transferred me to states they do not have the parts and they don’t know why corporate is telling people they have the parts. I have been waiting 5 months.
