"Anticipated" followed with "by October 2023." I know it's still October, but if I say I'll be there by 8 and then show up at 8:59 did I show up on time?
I'll take a note that you don't mind waiting for me to have the recall performed first because it says anticipated.

So, if yours catches fire, would you pop the hood in an attempt to douse it?Most are waaay ahead of that.

I would douse it, why not? It won’t explode. Mavs are to hard to come by.
Or come buy.

Based upon my experience in the Bronco queue back in 2020-2021, they should have just said "soon" instead of "by October."

Have you read about the "defect?"
Apparently it's caused by mismanufactured cam shafts that cause metal shavings to accumulate in the bearings resulting in loud metal against metal sounds from an engine block or oil pan breech. This causes oil and gas to be sprayed throughout the engine bay including on the catalytic converter and exhaust which is what causes the fire.
My advice...do what they recommend and evacuate.

Well, I think that's what the holes in the under car shield were for.
still, if I hear catastrophic engine failure....I'm out.
seen a few engine fires before under cars shields were even a thingWell, I think that's what the holes in the under car shield were for.

You should have ordered a 2024. The way things are going, you might had it first. I hope your Maverick is inside during this wait. Like locked up in the showroom.
They have been keeping my ordered on the backlot. ( been able to test drive it a few times to keep everything running and tires from flat spotting)They have a stock order with a few more options than my order, in transit they put my name on. So I'm waiting to see which one is available first
. Eta on stock order 2nd week of November.
"Anticipated" is a term that literally suggests that the time of the subject event is not exact nor is even known. "By" sets a limit. So yes, if you say you'll be someplace by 8:00 but show up at 8:59, you're late.
And sure, you can go ahead of me for the warranty. I'm truly not worried about this.

For a comparison observation, I notice in today's news that Hyundai and its Kia subsidiary have an incredible 16 separate recalls going back as much as 10 years and 6.4 million vehicles for possible underhood fires due to the poor placement of their brake assist module, and the NHTSA is now investigating their recall process as a result. Last week it was Honda with very serious loss-of-steering, serious frame rust-out issues and loss-of-brakes issues being recalled. Toyota is recalling 1.8 million RAV4s for defective battery issues causing underhood fires. Ford is starting to look really good when compared with the competitor's problems.
