Maverick Stop Sale Recall [Fuel Tank leak inspection issue]. Recall #21C35 (for Mavericks with spray-in bedliner)

[Platinum2]

if it’s not an isolated issue to this one particular Maverick, I wonder if already delivered EBs will need the recall service…

Dealer suggested "certain" Mavericks have an issue. Dealers are being asked to check. Mine might be fine...

Yeah. As you noted, we'll learn more in the coming days. That could mean Mavs manufactured between XX date and XX date or all EcoBoosts. We'll just need to sit tight until word comes from on high.

Finally a positive reason for not having a build date!
Seriously though I hope it's nothing horrible !

I would probably lose my shit if they didn’t give me my truck.

It always surprises me when this kind of stuff comes up! How did they discover this issue? Was there a change in the production process? Change in material? If so, was some engineer assigned to figure out what the results of those changes would be? If so, why wasn't done prior to any change?
Not really searching for answers, just thinking out loud, but if anyone has any insights I'd like to hear them.

Mine was in production from 10/28 and built on 11/10, so I'm in the clear. BUT mine was already delivered. Since this is before my build date, I imagine there are plenty of people who will need a repair from Ford who have already taken delivery.

I believe that Crash Testing (Safety Ratings) have not been completed yet as seen on my Window Sticker. So this was probably found during testing.

I was built the week of 10/26 and was built 11/23. Looks like I dodged that bullet....

And if it's something like a safety issue serious as this they would let you have your breakdown, tell you sorry and offer you a soda, and then show you out the door with a promise of a phone call when your truck is ready.

Aw that's could be it, I forgot that crash testing hasn't been completed yet. Maybe this is the source of the problem.

If it falls within the window they'll have you bring it back in.
