$1200. Still need to find the bolt. I've spent quite a bit of cash on upgrades so in the grand scheme of things it was just more. May not make a difference but I've got mine tuned already with other upgrades in the near future and I just didn't feel like taking any chances especially potentially being out of warranty.

BEWARE: Driveshaft kaboom from emergency auto-brake

Just purchased an ST. Build date 9/23. 1/3 bolt subframe. Asking the dealership to remedy with a 2/4 bolt subframe via a misbuild claim with Ford but not optimistic. This electronic parking brake “fix” for this is one of the most dishonest attempts to pretend to fix a true structural problem that I’ve seen. They are just comparing the analyzed potential cost of repairs and lawsuits vs the cost of installing or recalling tens/hundreds of thousands of vehicles and they’re choosing their wallet over customer safety and proper engineering specs… on a performance vehicle, no less.
Well, you will want a more substantial brace than the $160 will get you. the 2/4 bolt subframes are not part of the recall and at least anecdotally, have not heard of these mounts/bolts failing. When I removed the two rear bolts on my 2/4 bolt last year, there was no sign of bent bolts like you see with the 1/3 bolt subframe. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.
