It was mind-numbing to see all of the 300 HP V6 SUVs when I was shopping around. Everything looked exactly the same except for the ST. I was even having a hard time finding something with a factory trailer hitch. Good luck finding a Telluride or Cherokee with one of those.

You also have to consider the severity of the issues. Ford is recalling minor things like backup cameras showing a blue screen. Kia refused to recall the Tellurides when their windshields and sunroofs were breaking/shattering.

Every vehicle I've ever owned has had rust on the brake rotors. They're not painted, and they're not stainless. Of course they're going to rust.

They'll fix it as many times as necessary as long as you're under warranty. The "one time fix" would only come into play after your normal factory warranty has expired and if you don't have an extended warranty.

I assume you just heated them up and slid some fishing line behind them? What did you use to get the glue residue off?

I know that the part number of the bolt changed sometime around the recall. Whether that means it's "better" or not, I couldn't tell you for sure.

I've had all of these same issues. I had to update via USB because Wi-Fi would always say I was up to date. Now I'm still seeing that I need an update on the Ford site despite uploading the log file. I guess I'll just have to keep checking forums to see what the latest version is.

Yep. Just keep an eye on your tire wear. If they wear too quickly or in odd patterns, that's a sign of an alignment issue. Otherwise you're probably fine.

Updated mine today via USB. Uploaded the XML log. Still says I need an update and has my version wrong on the site.

Ah, I was thinking of what they recommend wen using a USB to update. The Wi-Fi update does say you can turn it off.

So you don't actually need to leave it running the whole time like Ford tells you to? Never mind. I was thinking of the USB update that tells you to leave it running.

I've seen a Ford memo posted here before saying that their policy is to only replace them if there are large droplets of water inside.

The stock status seems to depend on if you've got heated seats in the rear or not. If you don't have rear heated seats, the controls are readily available. I got mine installed by the dealer this morning. Just reference TSB 22G01 and they should be able to figure everything out.

Got mine put in at the dealer today. Took about 30 minutes.

So is it safe to assume that vehicles manufactured after the recall have the "revised" bolt that is presumably higher quality than the ones that were breaking?

Any news on if/when Ford will roll out a second part to the recall where they update the actual hardware on civilian vehicles?
