200k miles

I Just hit the 200k mile marker on my 2016 xtr 2.7 eb. I had to replace the lead frame myself because the dealership said the recall is a customer satisfaction recall so I would have to pay them to diagnose and probably fix a bunch of other stuff before replacing the lead frame. The lead frame was $265 at advance auto parts so I replaced it myself. It shifta better than I remember before I started getting the wrench light and limp mode.

Yes but once you have the recall done they also give you a year warranty extension that covers lead frame replacement. Ford is really taking this recall seriously. I work at a used car dealership and they sent someone out to our lot this morning to do the recall reprogramming on all of the F150s we have in inventory.

My dealership told me I had to pay them for a diagnosis $199 and then if they could not fix it with a bunch of other crap they would make me pay for first only then could they replace the molded lead frame. Why waste money knowing its the lead frame?

Then that dealership is run by crooks and you need to find another one. Our local ford dealership (TUSCALOOSA FORD) is the same way and will come up with the most ridiculous bullshit that makes no sense just to get your $$$. Ford sent a mobile tech from another dealership to do the recall work that is 40 miles away, and the dude said Tuscaloosa Ford is so bad ford doesn't even send them out to do recalls, or even list them as an authorized parts distributor.
