Big Jim, the recall is only for us poor slobs who live in cold weather states. Of course, I had the clunk and I run stock sized 205/55R16's. Lots of help there. Stupid Ford.

I'd love to hear what the differences are in the "revised" guard. If they had a set that worked, I'd let them put it on. Better safe than sorry you know. But I'm not going to drive with a so-called safety fix that could be doing more harm than good. Until then, I just have to pray that PennDOT keeps the anti-skid mixture high on gravel and low on salt.

You know what else is funny? I have NEVER received an Owner Notification letter on this one. Or the extended warranty for the springs either. I did get the one for the heater blower resistor. I say again: Stupid Ford. Maybe I should call NHTSA and see if they can get me my letter. wink
