Got my 21' Outer Banks Sasquatch back yesterday. 100k miles on it. Both shocks failed inspection and were replaced. Replacement has the added block on them as well. All work was done free under safety recall.
This is a safety recall and Ford must replace them free of charge no matter where you are on warranty or mileage. Although Shocks themselves are covered under maintenance, the issue is a safety recall is a different things. It's an NTSB Safety Recall.
Honestly they didn't look that complicated to remove, I wonder if a quick sanding and rattle can of yellow can spruce them up. Maybe even try and paint the letters contrasting..
I was talking to my repair tech, mine is on the lift right now getting repaired, since these are safety/hazard recalls, they have too replace them and make them right. I have 100k miles on my 21' Outer Banks Sasquatch and they are doing it for free... so well outside of the warrantee timeframe.
Currently sitting at 99,785 miles on a 21' Outer Banks Sasquatch.
I drive 110 miles daily, from Frederick, MD to Baltimore, MD and back. 75-80% of my miles are highway at around 80-85mph. Currently at an average of 19.3 MPG
I am on my 3rd windshield, it has a small chip but it hasn't failed...
I had my AC go out at about 95k miles, turned out to be this issue. I paid over 1k$ for the replacement of that part as they needed to purge and refill the coolant. Do we know if this can be just replaced without purging and refilling the coolant or will that always be required. I ask...
answering my own question. I'm going to have to buy stock in IAG or at least put a sticker on the door, right now I have half of their catalog on my Bronco. But to self answer my question...
People freaking out about the idea of this don't realize that this is regularly done. In fact, Bronco is based on the Ranger platform. I, being a former Lincoln owner, would LOVE to see a Bronco based Lincoln product.
