Dealership actually notified me and took care of it when I took my car in about 3 months ago for some other stuff. I did get a letter in the mail as well.

 

I have received at least 3 notices in the mail. I went to the dealer to schedule at the first notice and it took at least 4-5 months for the parts to come in.

 

I got two letters from a long time ago, but I haven't gotten any letters saying the parts are in stock or to come in and get it fixed.

 

If you received the recall letter you need to contact a dealer for the repair. They will order the parts and contact you when they come in if you are lucky. In my case I waited awhile and called them to find out they had the parts and forgot to call me. Something about a computer system change and they lost some service tickets.

 

I actually took mine in for another reason and they ordered the part with the other part. It took about 4 weeks to get the part in. I would contact your dealer.

 

Just called the local dealer this afternoon about my '13, he checked and called me back, no parts available yet he said

 

I dont wait for the stealership to notify me. I made the appointment for the recall. A few days later they called to confirm my appointment and said i can wait while they fix the recall, and update sync...but they want to keep the car for two days to diagnose the infamous ticking sound. (I think its the a/c belt)

 

Btw, Takata is considering bankruptcy in the us due to this massive recall. So it may take even longer to get fixed now.

My appointment is at 8am tomorrow.

 

As you might know there are different kinds of bankruptcy ... just cuz a company is declaring it doesn't mean they're going bye-bye, they may just be looking to re-organize their business so they can better handle the expense of the recall.

 

I know that. They will still supply the parts, everything will just take longer.

 

I.E. Govmint Motors...

 

Recall taken care of, Sync updated to the latest version. I decided to not let them diagnose the ticking noise today. I have 7 months or 10k miles left on the warranty, they can diagnose it before the warranty ends.

 

Ordered a new set of tires for it. The tires I have now have a bit of tread life left and probably could last until spring, but 2 tires have are holding air. Valve stem issues ruled out and no obvious punctures to plug, so new tires it is. I travel too much on the highway to worry about one of those tires coming apart at 75mph.

 

I had received a few letter in the mail about the recall. My service guy at Don Hinds Ford in Fishers (Zac) is also a buddy of mine. He told me that they get batches of repair "kits" and then they are installed on a first come, first serve basis until they are gone and the next batch comes in. Since I get my oil changed there, I just asked a few times each oil change until they actually had them in. Got my driver's side one done, but not the passenger side yet as they didn't have those ones in yet.

 

Same here.

 

Yesterday we had a trial run of our own Sunday Cars & Coffee. There's no local one around me (well further than I want to go) so asked my friends if they wanted to start one. We ended up taking a ride through Ipswich MA. Unfortunately it rained, but it was still awesome. Fall in New England is really something everyone should see at least once.

A couple pics...

 

Beautiful man... I love the subtleties of your car. From now on, I am going to be oogling at all the cars on this site, because mine is tucked away for the season.

 

Thanks. Today when I get home I'm washing her and putting on the cover. I'm hoping for one more run before hibernation.

 

Awesome man.
Hopefully we have a quick and pain free winter!

 

Good luck with that...
