In regard to bulletin 16B02, I was pondering why it was limited to those states. Some of those states did not see an official sale of the FFE there, and if you read the bulletin, vehicles that were brought to those states are eligible. So what does that mean? Ford is covering its legal ass. Most likely, those states have regulations that vehicles that are registered in that state are covered by the manufacturer for any problems to electrical systems, caused by road salt. Notice that salvage and out of warranty vehicles are included, free coverage. This is the makings of a recall, without the word "Recall". But only in states where Ford could get sued by the state, and not just unhappy owners.
My California and probably every California FFE doesn't have this shield/protector.
Time to see how cheap I can get it. And if not, maybe time to give Mr. Berardi a call.
Best price so far is ebay $99 with $17 shipping. Otherwise, many part suppliers have it for $123, and probably the same for shipping.
