Good catch, must have fat fingered it posting from my phone

I just booked a time ( May 1) with the dealers body shop to fix the gap. They said Ford is shipping them a bracket that attaches to the rear bumper that will support it properly. Glad they are correcting this issue.

That’s great! I hope it works. Does this mean the new cars will be built with the updated parts?

No luck finding TSB, when gets fixed scan the ticket maybe we can a new part!

Great! Please keep us posted! Thanks!

Can anyone that gets the TSB do a before/after photo? Maybe with some measurements?

I don't think there is a tsb for this with a new bracket fix. Some body shops have ordered new brackets but it solved nothing long term since the brackets are the same.I sure hope I'm wrong on this one!!

Now experience tells me to wait for others to go before me so my car will not be the guinea pig for this TSB ;) I will give it 6 months or so and go and complain again

Awesome, thanks! One more thing for them to do when I eventually bring it in for the AC fix. Waiting on that as I want the most up to date AC repair, I head heard newer versions of AC repair as of recent.

My gap was fixed at the dealer about 6 months ago. i still have a slight gap but its not opening up. I want to see how tight the gap is with this TSB fix. If its real tight I may ask them to re-do it with the new method but I am waiting for Pics form other TSB fixes. Seems every time ford touches my car something else goes wrong LOL.
