It's official.

What is the issue? On your vehicle, a wiring circuit to the trailer tow connector is missing.

Tomorrow starts the second quarter... that's not unreasonable. The question really is when in the second quarter?

Stop delivery on Maverick. Stop delivery on Explorer.

Got my letter today. This should be interesting, since mine was repaired before the recall was issued.

Maybe your mechanic can write the repair bulletin for Ford and explain that it doesn’t have to be a 3 month parts ordeal? Haha

I've already posted all that in the other recall thread. In my case, they added the missing wire & electrical socket, I have to wonder if they are going to replace the defective section of harness, rather than make the same repair.

Ah fair enough - do you know if Ford reps ever read these forums??

I kinda think they’ll replace the harness, but the part of me that just wants it released from the dealer hopes they’ll just splice!!

Interested in how Ford handles yours, if they’ll repair it again or waive it

The affected harness is pretty much the entire engine bay harness so I'd think they'll try to just add the missing circuit(s)

Well, now it is the end of the second quarter, and still no wiring harness .

The repair documentation has been out since May 15th and a minor update the 23rd.

That is a different recall than the one that causes the car fires.

I just posted a write-up on this repair if anyone still needs it. It's under the repair/TSB/Recall section Cheers!
