They're either "assuming" that the police units will have a greater chance of breaking due to their service parameters or ... They're fixing theirs and not ours because they know police agencies will sue or ... It's a combination of both. But yes, we are definitely getting the short end of the...

That seems to be info that's privy to Ford and to them alone. Unless they come out with another public statement like the one reported in the link that breaks everything down, we will never know.

hahaha I told a guy last week about the rear one bolt thing and he got underneath to look at it. I was nervous for him and eventually told him to get out!

That is the number of 20-22 Explorers recalled as per this article: https://www.autoblog.com/2022/04/29/ford-explorer-recall-axle-bolt-failure/

$250 x 252,936 Explorers = $63,234,000 Not including labor.

At some point the NHTSA should figure that out for themselves regardless of what Ford says.

"What Have You Done To Your ST Today" I checked underneath the vehicle to see if the single rear axle bolt was intact and everything was still in one piece. ALL GOOD!(y)

The roll away in Park after the bolt breaks is what they're addressing. It's been reported on this forum that the fix for the actual bolt break is covered under a TSB (TSB's are "fix it if a customer shows up with a failure"). That's different from a Recall ("all vehicles must be brought in").

At this point only Ford knows why the switch was made, and they're not saying much. True. When they initially said there was going to be a pcm flash for retail cars, a possible hp drop was a natural assumption.

I tried manual mode 5 min after leaving the dealer's lot. Got to test these things out you know! But here's the example of what I was talking about: I'm cruising around town in D at 40 mph. I floor it and the rpm jumps to 3,300 rpm. That equates to 3rd gear. But if I'm cruising around in D at...

If a customer refuses to have a recall performed, does that exempt Ford from any liability with the area in question, or possibly even void the entire warranty outright?

What is involved in assembling a class action suit?

Absolutely! But I've found the 50 mph downshift just as satisfying. Also, I noticed the trans won't always go down to the lowest gear possible when putting the hammer down. For ex: I cruise up to ~40 mph and floor it. The trans will drop down to 3rd, when 2nd is within easy reach. Shifting in...

I had a new '11 Stang GT that was low on power, turned out to be a loose sensor on one of the overhead cam banks. Who's to know why ST's are doing it though.

I can't believe mine is a '22 and they didn't do that.

I often go full throttle at ~50 mph, because that's one of the best downshifts the ST has for putting you back in your seat. I do it with some regularity. And power braking on occasion when traffic permits.

I also have 1k on mine. I won't see the dealer unless I bring it in for the on again/off again rattle I hear. The parts you refer to are for police units, retail purchaes like ours are only seeing a pcm flash for the e-brake.

Yup. That is what I posted on the "Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures" thread (post #136) https://www.explorerst.org/threads/safety-recall-22s27-rear-axle-bolt-fractures.3717/page-7#post-47899 And if it did change, what would it change to? 0.2%? 0.4%?
