I received Ford's Safety Recall notice dated October 2025 regarding SRN 25SA9 / NHTSA Recall 25V695. It has been 6 months since this recall issue and Ford hasn't made any progress in resolving the issue??? I find that extremely hard to believe!!! Apparently Ford does not consider "saftey" a priority for their customers!!! Has Ford received any kind of penalty for not expediting the resolution for this issue??? Facing a STIFF penalty is the only way a company will take notice and force them to resolve the issue BEFORE someone gets hurt, or worse, dies!!!
