It's been at least a year and a half on this recall and i've gotten letters saying parts are available yet i call mcmullen ford and they do not have them and i've gotten my honda crv fixed and it had only 6 months and they ordered the part to install in my vehicle specifically. Now why can't a part be held for a specific vehicle at the ford dealership?
