Bull Run

Is that a guess or have you done a test to verify that there are no improvements made to the new sensor? I will contend that even though there is a clear difference in physical characteristics, assuming that their reliability is the same is a fallacy.When suppliers build to a specification they are required to make the dimensions that are defined in the spec the same. Chamfers vent holes, etc can vary.
I consider this to be no different than the evap purge valve issue. I replaced it because I ended up with a CEL. It went away after I cleared the code but I've noticed that this is one of the most common CEL reported. At $25 and 10-15 minute install time, I opted to swap it instead of waiting for a TSB or lawsuit (with all the mods I've done, I'm not even going to bother going to a stealership anyways) because it can cause the engine to get flooded with fuel.

Ford and other car makers have known history of not issuing recalls until lawsuits became more expense than the recalls. Surely you should know that, being an egnieers for over 40 years, or should I list some examples for you?
