I can see a lot of threads about the recall, and wish I had followed this forum earlier this year. But, I couldn't find anything that addressed my specific question.
I have a 2021 Expedition with the towing package, so it should have the heavy-duty (800W?) cooling fan.
We were on a trip when the fix became available, so I took it to a small-town dealer to have the repair done, rather than waiting until I got home. The service advisor told me it was a temporary fix -- pending part availability -- and that it "disables the high-speed cooling fan". But, when I discussed it with a local service advisor, she didn't seem to know anything about it.
This is what the service invoice says:
INSPECTED COVER AND BATTERY JUNCTION BOX. REMOVED BJB, CUT GROUND WIRE AND APPLIED HEAT SHRINK. REASSEMBLED AND CHECKED OPERATION OF HVAC BLOWER AND WIPER/WASHER SYSTEM.
I know that BJB is "battery junction box". But, does the removal mean that something remains to be re-installed?
I read in another thread that the new BJB is available for the HD cooling fan, but not the standard cooling fan. Did the small-town dealer just not have the BJB at that time (it was late July)?
