Welcome to the South. I moved to NC 20 years ago and have never missed CA. Missed some good people but not the state. On behalf of many CA refugees, whatever you hated in CA leave in CA, and understand there ain't nothing done here like it is in CA, and we wish to keep it that way. Embrace the beauty, culture and independence of the south. If you do, your life will be much richer...just sayin.

This just confirmed all of the research I did while working. Put my head together with my favorite parts guy.
My 2021 ST with a build date of March in Chicago.
My ST was BUILT with subframe part number: MB5Z-5035D ... I will get under my ST and find the part number hopefully on the subframe to confirm but that is the part that was used in my specific build at the Chicago plant.
That MB5Z-5035D subframe is for the 3.3NA hybrid motor for the Limited.
The correct subframe that my VIN number is calling for is MB5Z-5035E which is for the 3.0 Ecoboost.. hence this receipt confirming that part number as the one they replaced your old one with.
I have a printout of the part numbers used in my build and have it highlited next to what Ford actually calls for these vehicles. Next step is sending it to Ford to see if they will swap it out without any failures in mine yet.
Will keep everyone updated!

Update: Just got off the phone with Ford Customer Service.. they told me that with the information that I provided (same as above) I should be able to get it swapped out under the bumper to bumper warranty but I'd have to go through the dealership.
My service advisor is telling me that they can't put a warranty claim through with no known "issues" or recalls/TSBs even though this is an extremely LARGE issue without any failures yet.
Him and I will be talking to our direct Ford Warranty representative who will actually be at our dealership on Monday. Will then update again!
