Uh oh....
Why doesn't Ford and the other companies put the blame where it belongs. ALL the recall parts that my Ford vehicles (personal/farm) have been sourced to CHINESE manufacturers.
China had all the US companies blackmailed (including Boeing) by demanding that if companies want to sell their products in China, a certain percentage of the products (vehicles,) has to contain parts made in China..only country in the world getting away with this financial ransom. I had to order new brake drums for my truck. US Ford marked box but part forged china.
Two months later, brake drum cracked (1) and broke into three pieces (1) and while pulling trailer with horses.
We are talking 42 trucks - glad that they caught it early !
