The TSB I read said this issue was for cars built prior to February of 2018. My 2018 GT350 was built June 2018 and I think I’m having these issues. Anyone else experience this issue with post Feb 18 built cars?

sold my 2018 GT350 :(
My car is a March 2018 build. My gap looks like the one posted by roygriffen2020. I thought it looked bad. But then but I saw someone with a real saggy rear bumper. It is nuts how bad it can get. What I have is not so bad.

I have a GT Premium 2021 that was purchased new from a Ford Dealer end of October 2021. It has 2,400 miles on it and today I saw what looked like someone hit the left rear bumber panel. No dents, no scratches so I googled to see if it is an issue. It lead my to this site/forum.

It looks like it was mostly on GT 350's 2015-2018 from what I can tell according the the Ford TSB dated March 29, 2018.

Mine is really bad, separating to the point tabs can be seen (picture attached).

Has anyone had theirs repaired by a Ford Dealer under warranty and did it fix the problem and last?

It’s a simple fix. Take it in. I did mine myself on my red 350. I used different hardware to have better clamping force.

What's the simple fix exactly?

I'm thinking maybe just increase the sag, and print tiny SpongeBob SquarePants characters inside the gap. 😄
