Good luck to all that have
Good luck to all that have their vehicle at the dealer waiting for the defective HCU part. My 07 Milan with 76000+ miles has been sitting at Lincoln of ??? lot since 5/12/21. I was informed a week earlier by their service advisor that they had all the parts in to do the recall on the brakes, recall 19S54. I took the car in on 5/12 for the brake recall, was informed later that day that they didn’t have the HCU part that failed fords test. After being promised several part delivery dates, now they’re telling me 8/24/21. This will be 3.5 months if they hit this date. I never had any prior trouble with my brakes and still original brakes. Here’s the bottom line on this recall. There were 600,000 06-10 fusions, Milan’s, and MKZ’s recalled that are all 11 to 15 years old. Some GENIUS at Ford said there would only be a 1% failure rate or 6000 vehicles. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to know this is an unrealistic figure. The actual failure rate is over 30% I’ve been informed or probably 200,000+ vehicles. At first I was told it was the pandemic as to why they didn’t have the part. I’ve since been told that the part was discontinued in manufacture at some time in the past. Ford has been lying to everyone about these parts. I don’t think they have them or ever will.Ford, like many manufacturers, have many new vehicles sitting on large lots waiting for chips that are in short supply due to the pandemic. What do you think their main focus would be, getting all the new vehicles to dealers to relieve their cash flow, of manufacturing an obsolete part for 11 to 15 year old vehicles?
