drolds1 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Don't wait for a notice unless your car is in the recalled group. From Ford press release: Affected vehicles include certain 2013-2014 C-MAX vehicles built at Michigan Assembly Plant, Jan. 19, 2012 to Nov. 21, 2013; certain 2013-2014 Fusion vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant, Feb. 3, 2012 to Aug. 24, 2013; certain 2013-2014 Escape vehicles built at Louisville Assembly Plant, Oct. 5, 2011 to Nov. 1, 2013 and certain 2013-2014 Lincoln MKZ vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant, April 25, 2012 to Sept. 30, 2013.

SteveB_TX Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 You need to wait for your official notice from Ford, unless your air bag light is on. Dealers cannot repair your vehicle right now. New parts are not yet available. If your air bag light is on, go ahead and take it in. The dealer will park your car, order the part, and maybe get you a rental. Parts may be available in a week, month, three months? This recall is currently in the advisory stage. In other words, Ford is telling its dealers what to do when the new part is available. Don't get all bent out of shape worrying about this. If your RCM goes bad, you won't die because of the air bag light. Just park your car or take it to the dealer.

SteveB_TX Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 How does one determine the date of Manufacture on an MKZ? Go to the Ford ETIS website. Put in your VIN, and all will be known! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drolds1 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Artie thanks for posting this. Looks like I'm in the clear. My pleasure. Mine was built in 3/14 so I'm OK too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drolds1 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) How does one determine the date of Manufacture on an MKZ? You won't get the exact day like you would from ETIS mentioned above, but the month is shown on the sticker in the driver's door jamb under "DATE."

JoeBrown Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) My pleasure. Mine was built in 3/14 so I'm OK too. According to the ETIS site mine was built on March 20, 2014. I took delivery on April 9, 2014. Wow! That was fast. Edited September 28, 2014 by JoeBrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was pretty fast getting to the dealer, Joe. Mine was built on 3/8 and I took delivery 4/19. I ordered it in February, so it took about 8 weeks from that date. They claimed it was delayed due to residual effects on the delivery system from the bad winter we had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuntBikeJake Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Parts for this recall will not be available until the THIRD quarter of 2015, those effected will be waiting for a while, unless your airbag light comes on sooner.... if it does, take it to the servicing dealer and repairs can be expedited, the only available modules to correct this are being used in the vehicles currently affected. Just sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
