You left out a major point. This impacts 215 vehicles total

So only 215 vehicles were built during the 275 days between October 31, 2022 through August 02, 2023?

Or there were just 215 that they know had a problem?

This is a hypothetical explanation:
Once an issue like this has been identified the team goes back and figure out the escape point as the nut drivers are all computer controlled for torque. So they can see that maybe one tool wasn't calibrated correctly or didn't do the full run or something and they can then cross-reference part serial numbers and from there get VIN.

Fair enough...and after a quick re-read through I did see the 215 mentioned. I'm sure any of our members affected will roger-up when they get the word.

....it's always those pesky nut drivers....always causing trouble.

August 2nd is a weird day, that includes half the first week after the plant came back online after retooling. Maybe that's why my truck was held back for months, they were investigating whatever caused this.

“impacted vehicle population consists of batteries that were (a) built from February 1 through March 31, 2023 and (b) reworked and reintroduced to the assembly line after the BEC fastener rundown operation.”

No need to worry. The 215 potentially affected will be notified soon. One 1 vehicle has been identified with this problem so far.

I wonder how they're dealing with lightnings that were built during this time but had their battery packs replaced during the stop-ship last Jan/Feb?

I received this recall notice, but when I called the dealership they said my truck was not affected. Should I believe them?

Strange that the same organization responsible for identifying affected vehicles and making a list of the VINs, and then notifying those owners...then has a dealer that says "nevermind, just kidding".

Did the dealer check the VIN list even though you were notified?

Just got the notification for this one. Gotta love #6 recall/CSPs in less than 12 months. Hopefully Ford is close to getting the kinks worked out lol
