Has anyone had the recall done? I had mine done apparently it is a new plastic rock guard and rtv to prevent leaks. Im not an engineer but I think it your serving shocks you might have noticed all the oil.

Oh dang. I had the recall done and when I saw what the fix was and I have over 50k on the factories I promptly ordered a set of these Dobbinson for the 4 corners.

There's a lot of info in this thread, including upgrades and reviews others have done that may help you, since Ford gave you the "pass" fix: https://thebronconation.com/issues-.../pending-bilstein-shock-recall-t.21902/page-1

I have been lucky so far and not had any leaks. I have a 23 Badlands, no SAS. I'm at 50K myself so if they leak will get different shocks. The fix for the recall is a joke. I keep getting notices from Ford that I haven't done anything about the shocks. I called the helpless desk to ask them to mark it complete. I then had to call the dealer. They entered it as complete for the 3rd time in the system. Maybe this one will be the charm.

The fix is not against leaks, but against falling off parts of the shocks, I think...

Mine were leaking and at the time they had no fix. I had an upcoming trip and did an upgrade. So if my shocks are leaking, do they refill them prior to the “fix” ?
