Ford Explorer ST Recall 23S23 360 Degree Camera Stop Sale
- Thread starter St3Ven
- Start date
Based on the latest update, it seems that the permanent fix is confirmed for Q-4 2023. Ford issued a communication to the Dealers on 07th August 2023 in this regard. I have found a link below, which has a chronological upload of all circulars shared by ford with Dealers/Owners under this recall:

Only the in-stock vehicle are not allowed to be updated under this interim fix. Dealers are to prioritize repairs of Customer Vehicle with this fix and not perform the interim repair on the in-stock inventory (which are technically not sold). Question is, the units which have booked booked by us, are these in-stock inventory or Customer Vehicle?
It also says that Ford has already started to repair the vehicle at the plant and therefore, we could see incidents wherein the vehicles are being delivered. It also mentions that used vehicles are excluded and ford has not issued stop sale on these vehicles.
Bookmark the link and I think this is the most updated news source for all of us on this matter.

Hate to say it but I think it’s laid out pretty clearly IMO. Right here “will not allow vehicles to be delivered.” Which is what your dealership needs to do in order to let you take a car home. They’ve got to show you taking delivery on whatever date. They report you taking delivery during the stop sale and they could be looking at fines totaling almost half the cost of the vehicle. Which explains why some of the dealers aren’t playing around with it.

I'm new here, but have been watching this for about a month. I live just outside of Chicago, and there have not been any explorers really moving from sitting in the lot. I'm not waiting on an ST, but I am waiting to take ownership of a 23 Limited with a 360 camera that works, but still sitting on the dealership lot, that I put a deposit down on and am trading my current explorer for. So I was told that my dealership can not move any of the ST's, Limited or Platnium's that were in inventory prior to the stop sale, and they won't move till the permanent fix is readyand installed. So the prior post with the memo from August confirms what is to happen sadly. My husband and I have been loyal Ford owners for about 30yrs, but I have to say with all the recalls across the Ford line-up makes us question the reliability and safety of all the vehicles not just the explorers.
