I purchased a 2019 GT base with 80k miles about 3 months ago and the day I bought it a P0430 code showed up. The dealer had ford diagnose it and they said it needed a cat/exhaust manifold part # JR3Z5G232B. This part has been on backorder at ford with no eta delivery dates . The dealer is willing to cover the repair with oem parts once it's avaliable, however there is no end in site. Im still driving it daily with the check engine light on. It is solid but not flashing and the car is still getting good gas mileage. Not sure what to do, the dealer has contacted other dealers and all of them are waiting as well. How long can I drive this without damaging something? Is there another route to fix it besides expensive headers? They tried an aftermarket alternative but it did not fit. The dealer is going to cover the cost of the part and labor for the one cat that is failing (2300). Should I remove the HPipe and make sure it's not dislodged blocking anything?
