Why wasn't the threads checked with a go/no go thread gage after replacing the tap? This is the quality we get for $8 an hour non unionized labor. Expect to see many more recalls. I won't see my truck for six months. It gives me time to think if I will accept it when its delivered. Unfortunately manufacturers will accept crap made in third world countries for the sake of their bottom line.
Not sure that American vehicles were any more reliable when made in the USA, so I’m not convinced that it’s a problem with where the truck was made. Also, I’m pretty sure that the workers in Hermosillo are actually unionized, which I support.
I miss the old days of vehicle manufacturing where the carmakers just waited to see if a bunch of people died before spending money. /s
If you have a VIN, try putting it into Ford's recall information website to see if it is there.
Im in the recall group and tried the VIN lookup. It apparently hasn’t been updated yet.
I see they are unionized. Probably under a lot of pressure to produce. That's when mistakes happen unfortunately. Not much we can do about it. For sure I'm going to check my truck when it arrives for fit and finish and other potential visual issues.
Right on the showroom floor would be appropriate.
If you feel this strongly about expecting more recalls, then I'm sure if show up to dealership and tell your salesperson your story of how manufacturers are accepting cheaply made third world crap and not sure about accecting the Maverick, they will gladly listen. However, the only thing that salesperson is hearing is, "blah, blah, blah" and thinking, if he rejects the truck I can mark up this Maverick and make a nice commission!
Sometimes I wonder if some of you have ever had a car before.
