The TSB for the '18s was out before the '19 model year production started so it is highly likely the change is in place.

My car was just built mid-December, so fingers crossed Ford would upgrade the parts on the new cars to address the issues they are having. Fingers crossed. I'm at 160 miles now so I can't tell anything from anything.

I haven't had any issues with my shift forks....yet....and have zero complaints
The "popular" failures out there were on tunes that raised the redline ...Period
Poweshifting at 8k with the stock set up is going to bite you and rightfully so ....Period.
Is this why an change to the stock configuration is needed by Ford?
Modifying your car is a package deal...so do what needs done upfront and you'll be happier
There are plenty of transmissions out there that are sensitive to lock out by just a few hundred rpm. I think the issue isn't as bad as some will have you think.

I've got 12K miles on my 18 not being easy on it and I haven't had any issues. Drive it, have fun with it, and if you have an issue you have warranty.
