Here's what confuses me a bit about the ford notice and some of the information recently released on the web. From what it looks like, the maintenance procedure effectively involves disconnecting what I can only assume is a ground wire (I only say ground here as for one, it's black with purple trace, but also if it was +, what ever is connected to it would for sure no longer work), and heat shrinking it, apparently due to a bad PCB design. So I ask the question, is this simply that the trace on the PCB can't handle the potential current? Or is it that there's a trace too close to it and they eventually arc? Either way, this screams like the PCB should actually be replaced rather than just cutting and hiding a wire? Are we getting a half-rump fix, possibly due to supply chain issues and bad press? Luckily this doesn't impact me so far, but who knows, certainly could expand. I just fear for others.
In this world where so many are out there breaking into vehicles, stealing vehicles, cutting off cats, to tell people to park outside begs the question of where does Ford's liability in this end?
