I'd still check to be sure. It's not too difficult (if you have a willing back). Download the pdf and it will tell you the spots to check for. Even if this is covered under warranty, I'd hate to wait for backordered parts and be without a vehicle if there was damage.
When I can I'll go under and check.
I found the same. Nothing really sagging but did notice those 2 Fasteners seem to be missing on the back end of the heatshield / fabric shield. There is a frame cross member that would catch the shield if it did sag back there but I would feel better if those Fasteners were there instead of just relying on the sticky stuff to hold the rear up. I wonder if Ford just forgot to add them? Seems like there should be 2 there. I wonder if Ford will add these for the recall or better for me just to buy the parts and add myself. Don't want to pay for them but shouldn't be that much. After adding those parts, it looks like the shields should be good.
Yep, they have clear instructions on the recall where to put each fastener, essentially each corner of the insulation. I think the 2 empty fasteners were on purpose.
They are dragging their feet most likely. No parts are necessary since all they have to do is fasten the insulation. Unless they don't have a drill and rivet gun, it should be an in-and-out job.
Thanks for the response, I reached out to the dealership and asked them the specifics of what they are waiting on. I will reply with the feedback I get.
I was told they are waiting on rivets, that are specifically for this recall to come in. I wasn’t given any kind of a timeframe.
Ok, that makes sense since it has to be a specific size I bet. As for washers, glad they are using Ford OEM. I mean, those AutoZone ones just wouldn't cut it
