Bizarre assumption for you to make. The recall was just announced today. That means they still need to locate the mailing address of 100,000 registered owners, and then print, mail, and have delivered 100,000 formal notices of the recall. If you check your mailbox today, you won't find this recall notice in there. You'll find it in your mailbox sometime within the next month, because physical mail is slow.
They're claiming it's "rare" with 0.17 instances per 1,000 vehicles. The recall action is to provide better drainage of the fuel vapor and/or oil, and increase ventilation. That way, if you're the unlucky 17 in 100,000 whose crankshaft does cause the engine to fail, it'll at most seize up and tear itself apart but not catch fire.
Canada is a big empty place so fires aren't a concern unless it is summer and in a forest. Then it becomes a different story.
Yes, it is.Not an assumption. This was in my Ford account and it was actually dated 7/7/22
The way I read it is that they'll drill holes in the plate under the engine (the one that makes it difficult to change oil) to let the leaking fluids drain out - no fluids, no fire.
Well I guess since my Maverick Hybrid is sitting at the dealer's lot cuz someone stole the catalytic converter while in transit, I should just keep it there for the recall. I ordered my Maverick the third week of July....last year and it won't have the catalytic converter put in until August. I've lost all my excitement about getting this truck. Bring on the recall.

Not that I understand this whole recall business, but I called up the dealership about the recall and now have an appt. for 7/21 to get it fixed. I just gave them my VIN and manufacturer's recall number from the NHTSA's site, since the recall is also listed there.Yes, it is.
The recall being issued for the vehicle is not formal notice of the recall.
NHTSA requires you to receive written correspondence notifying you of this recall.
That written correspondence is not arriving in your mailbox today.
It will arrive in the next month.
Not that hard to understand.

In Canada the fire is sold as a feature, not a hazard
Ah I see. I guess I'm more proactive. Thank you for clearing that up.No, they mean Aug 8th.
That class action does not include the latest version of the 2.0. Ford has made changes to address the coolant issue beginning in 2019/2020.
