I agree that if all Explorers that are involved in the CSP were to have the correct fix done, the costs are prohibitive but the CSP only deals with those Explorers which had a failure of the bolt. Given Ford’s numbers of Explorers having had the failure and what we’ve seen in the poll here, that number is a fraction of the total number covered. So most Explorer owners will likely never have a failure occur or can get by with just an upgraded bolt. Throw in the vague wording of the letter and the question of what specifically Ford will do in the case of a failure occurring remains unclear. We’ve heard from a couple of ST owners who experienced the bolt failure say that they had the subframe replaced as part of the repair. So yes, it’s wishful thinking on my part and I agree with what you and others have said that Ford (unless pushed) will likely do the cheapest fix possible. Which is good for their bottom line but sad that because of bean counting, a vehicle with huge potential is limited by that decision.
