Well the main point on starting this post was the manufacturers generally not advising owners of their vehicles of TSB details that would allow them to take preventative action to deal with possible safety or other faults before the Feds order them to, which can be a slow, prolonged process. Of course the manufacturers do not want the customers to know of the repairs they may/may not need to do due to potential cost issues for themselves generally before the Feds order them to or at least threaten. It would be nice to think there is a compromise in all this where at least all owners were advised that TSBs were issued and basically what they were for, offering perhaps a discounted oil change or something to get them into the shop. Does anyone know the details of this TSB on the 3rd Gen Expedition?
