I just received a notice from Ford that the parts are in for recall 23S64! Finally... I made the appointment at the dealership for the install next month Sept 15, 2025
Frustrated Dave
I received the same notice from Ford. My dealer claims the parts are still on backorder and call back in two weeks. A little voice in the back of my head wonders if they are putting me off because my 2018 only has 13000 miles on it and they know I'm retired. This is just an INTERIM repair from what I can see. Does that mean yet another repair is down the road???
I got one too. But when I contact Ford to set up the appointment, all they want to talk about is how they're going to charge me for diagnosis, installation etc. of all parts other than the recall. The issues with my car are all due to the recall, but I'm afraid to risk them keeping my car for non payment of auto repairs. It's not currently running. As a matter of fact, it's been parked more often than driven since I've gotten the stupid car. I hate that thing! Been a money pit.
So they said they aren't only replacing the belt, they are replacing the "whole thing" whatever that means. The service person I talked to wasn't sure but they have to "order" the part, which are "supposedly" being released a few at a time. Anyone out there know what "the whole thing" is???
Chain is the correct way to fix it. Ford screwed us over. The money we pay for new cars is too expensive the sell junk motors were stuck with. Wet belt dont work. Oil get hot dries the belt out and cracks. It common sense. Ford dont have no more. Chevy makes 1.0 it chain driven....
Had our 2021 done, here are the parts from the invoice (they do put a new oil filter and oil in so there is that
