Safety Recall 22S27 Rear Axle Bolt Fractures
- Thread starter TFocker
- Start date
I raced Stangs that constantly broke their 7.5" ring gears until Ford upgraded them to 8.8" diffs.
The ST's rear axle bolt issue (of which the jury is still out on it's fix and number of occurrences) seems small for right now.
At this point, I'm not going to overreact and just wait to see what's what ...

If some of the dealers are selling them with the active recall they’re idiots … due to the fact that in your contract you will have what is called a Warranty start date, once the contract is completed and the dealership puts a warranty start date Ford will see that there was a active recall before that warranty start date and they will be fined heavily up to $21,000 Per vehicle . The way Ford dealership get around it is they leave the warranty start date blank on the contract. Then later down the road the owner of the vehicle has to fight with Ford customer service to get that warranty start date activated.

Your warranty start date is initiated through your sales contract … you are correct in stating that the day you bought your vehicle you downloaded the FordPass app and activated that app … that’s all you did was activate the app … Ford pass gets their information from the dealership at the time that the contract is completed through the F and I department. The personnel that works for Ford pass cannot make any changes or updates to your FordPass account without going through the customer Experience specialist department. That’s why when you call Ford pass and you have a problem they tell you they will open a ticket and a specialist will get back with you. The customer experience specialist will need the GDN number of the dealership you bought your vehicle from The GDM number is on your contract. It’s a letter A through Z followed by five numbers they will also need the sales date and exact mileage along with the VIN.
As I stated in the post above if the dealership did not input your warranty start date because they were selling a vehicle that had an active recall you can still activate your FordPass account but it will not have a warranty start date.When you open your Ford Pass app and click on the warranty tab it will be blank if the dealership did not input that date when you open your Ford Pass app and click on the warranty tab it will be blank if the dealership did not input that date

That is what I kept thinking of GM as I kept getting POS cars and trucks. Started with an 07 Z06, then lemon lawed an 08 Z06, would have lemon lawed an 09 CTSV which spent 26 weeks in the shop trying to fix a roof/sunroof issue, a 16 Denali which about had the transmission explode twice and a 17 CTSV headed towards being a lemon, I switched to Jeep and loved the Trackhawk. If I could have found one on the lot when mine was totaled, I would have another one sitting in the garage now. I am not so trusting of Ford with the Exploder. So far starting at the dealership it hasn't been a smooth ride. I'm avoiding a return to the dealer if at all possible.
