Recall 18S17

[harkco]

Just wondering if anyone has had this recall performed yet. I dropped my vehicle this morning for a different recall (18S27) and they said they would do this one as well. Looks like it involves replacing the fuel pump. Fingers crossed.

Looks like only about 7500 truck...for now....

Thanks for posting, looks like I dodged this one as my 2018 was built on 6/3/2018... Funny though when it arrived in St. Louis, MO, Ford held it for an additional two days for a recall before releasing it to my dealer. I never did find out what that was all about...

Looks like all went well. Took the dealer around 6 hours for both recalls.

Don't know if anyone has seen the repair vids; I can hear the difference without the noise insulation.

 

[Derail]

If it allows more road noise, I will not be happy.

 

[SJRaptorG2]

Yeah, I disconnected the fake engine sound way back and I can definitely here more noise. thinking of buying fire safe insulator and replacing where they took off.

Thanks for posting those.

Just had the recall done on my truck and there is definitely a lot more road noise now. Not very happy about that at all. Instead of removing it Ford should have replaced it with something.

Or why not cover the insulation with the same foil tape? What am I missing here?

 

[Onemoosehorn]

Not sure why they did not just cover it. The wife even made a comment about how much more noise there was in the passenger side last night.

has anyone had the emissions work done? 18L02. warranty increase to 7yrs, 70K.

This absolutely sucks. If anyone finds some flame retardant insulation for the B-pillars, I would be interested in a DIY solution to reduce noise. This is a big time fail on Ford.

Just found this on Amazon but I'm not an expert in vehicle insulation and soundproofing: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYUKKNN/?tag=fordraptorforum-20

I had this done and do not notice any increase in road noise. This thread was originally for Recall 18S17, however, which involves replacement of the fuel pump. Recall 18S27 involves removal of the insulation on the B pillar.

Same thing with my truck. When I made the appointment to get the 18S27 done, the service writer advised that my truck needed the 18S17 as well. Paperwork says the high pressure fuel pump, a tube assembly, and 3 bolts were replaced. Total labor for both recalls looks like about 3 hours, although they kept the truck for a day and a half. All good now...

I just got the 18S27 done yesterday, haven't taken it on the freeway yet but 40mph doesn't seem any noisier than before.
