2020 Whistle Sound

[BC119]

The issue affects a very small build window; less than one month.

The issue was isolated and suspect stock was purged. Any truck built after 11/20 has the revised bearing.

My luck. My truck has a build date of 10/31 whereas my dads was built the first few days of October and doesn't have the whistle.

Any update on this? It's driving me insane and my dealer is clueless. Mine is getting Louder.

How can I tell when it was made? Window sticker shows 12/6/19...not sure if that's build date or ship date. The Mfg date on VIN sticker only shows month not day.

December 6th 2019. That is your build date.

Picked up my 20 today. 12/19 build. No noises. Had two 2019's and no issues on either.

If you are shopping 20, check that build date and avoid 11/19 builds it looks like.

20 is solid and very quiet.

I have a build date of 10/10/19 with no whistle. Does that mean I'm good? Is this only affecting the month of November or what?

Good question. That's a question for @FordTechOne. Based upon his post make sure truck was made after 11/20/19 (can tell build date on sticker).

I re-read through the thread. @FordTechOne says the window was smaller than a month, so I should be good at 10/10/19. Plus I don't hear a whistle.... so yeah.

I also have this whistling noise. My build date is 11/19.

I have the whistle sound at low rpms, just noticed it, mine has 249 miles. Mine is a 2020, build date 12/11/19. My whistle noise can faintly be heard at lower rpm when going easy on the acceleration, goes away after about 35 mph. I hear it at 15-35 mph with the windows down. Now that I’m aware of this, I’ll pay attention to freeway and other driving conditions. Is this just an Annoying noise issue, or is there a more serious problem now or down the road as we rack up miles?
