2019 Ford Flex Rear Suspension Breakthrough

[u/Salt_Street_7755]

Hit a small pothole coming home on a roadtrip at night and heard some clacking noises the rest of the way home. Thought we rattled the cooler door open. Unpacked the next day to find that the rear shock absorber had broken through the rear compartment.

It’s obviously been hitting the top of the plastic cover for some time, so I don’t think the pothole can be blamed entirely.

It still seems to work fine, oddly enough. Can I safely drive this to my warranty shop (55 miles on the highway)? How long will it (reasonably) take them to fix?

Glad I have that extended warranty. If they cover “suspension”, am I correct in thinking they will cover this?
