No further with the recall

[Targa]

I have a auto GT which I picked up in January. A couple of weeks later I had a phone call from the dealership to book my car for a recall fix. However a day before I was suppose to take my car I had another call to say that there is another part which needed to be fitted. So to avoid bringing the car twice - can I not come tomorrow and they will let me know when both parts are in stock. That was at-least 5 weeks ago and never heard from the dealership since. Shall I just forget about it? or push for the recall work to be done ASAP. It is a pain to take the car to the dealer who is 50 miles away and I never had any thing regarding the recall in writing from the Ford? Has anyone else had similar experience and what is the "other " part which need ordering?

Is it the wiring loom recall? If so I would say it's quite important as it has caused a fire in 1 car.

But the fix seems to be a bit of tin foil and cable tie lol

Deffo push for the recall, the recall was due to a wiring loom fix because someones car LITERALLY had their engine set on fire, it's not worth the risk, they need to fit a heat shield to one of your wiring looms. The 'parts' are essentially heat proof covers and heat proof tape IIRC

Does anyone know what the production cut-off date is for cars that don't need the recall?

What's with two parts needing to be fitted?

I think the December builds didn't need it, i'm almost certain no jan builds need it.

[MENTION=6364]Twin Turbo[/MENTION] maybe able to confirm.

Heat shield tape and tie wraps so far as I know.

Strange - this would include my car but I have heard nothing from my dealer.

Is there a way I can check visually if my car needs the work?

Check out the link in [MENTION=6364]Twin Turbo[/MENTION]'s post. It seems to have a fairly detailed procedure with pictures ;)

Clicked but none of it loads from work - will check again at home.

Thanks

I heard nothing from my dealer either. It was only when the on-duty tech at a Mustang event one night offered to check my chassis number for me that it came to light mine needed doing.

I'd checked Etis myself, which has a section for outstanding field actions, but your dealer will have access to a different system, which is where mine showed up.

Crazy that they don't take this more serious give the risk!

I know.

How hard would it be to send an email to their dealer network saying "please check the system for Mustangs with the following chassis numbers"?

Doesn't ETIS give details of outstanding service actions?
