Ford has demolished a small forest to send me ( and everyone else ) paperwork regarding recalls for the fuel injector leak.
They all, including the drain tube, PCM updates etc used the code letter " S " in the recall number. To me, that means a safety issue that must be fixed by Ford.
Today I asked my dealer for a status.
Surprise !!!!
All the old recalls using the S have been discontinued ( or something ) and the new recall number is 22N18. Of course , the N means " we will fix it if you have the problem ". And yes, we all have an extended 15 yr, 150K mileage ( 250KM ) warranty to cover the cost.
To me this says Ford has no plans to actually replace the injectors proactively. If you have a leak, and you can get it to a dealer without causing the incineration of your BS, they will, graciously, replace the injectors.
If a leak does result in the destruction of your BS, I assume that the finger pointing between your insurer and Ford will start. The insurer blaming Ford for not fixing a known problem. Let's hope no owner gets caught in the middle. If a leak , despite the drain tube, /PCM updates causes a fire and results in bodily harm to the occupants, you have to think liability lawyers will be all over it. Since torts of this kind usually start with " you knew or ought to have known " pretty hard for Ford to say " news to us. "
I post from Canada, and U.S. situation may be different.
