So the wife tells me it looks like I have a recall letter from Ford. That would be odd since the newest Ford I have is an 06 F250 (and have being a relative term as I’m still entrenched with the dealership on that one).
I open it up and my goodness it’s about that truck. But it isn’t a recall letter. It’s a feelgood PSA from Ford about, what owners have referred to as, the death wobble.
After you remove the friendly words and lawyer speak here is basically what the letter says......
We at ford recognize that some of you people are complaining about a front end shimmy, especially you 4wd owners with solid front axles.
Ford is not to blame for this. Everything that we can control has been controlled. You idiots aren’t inflating your tires properly. In case you don’t know what a tire inflation chart is, here’s one. Read it, learn it, live it.
If you’ve made any suspension mods at all, you’re an idiot and part of the problem. Don’t do that. Return your ford to spec.
If you’re still having an issue Ford is here for you. Bring your ford in and we’ll charge you to diagnose the problem and then arbitrarily replace suspension and steering components.
Once again ford is not to blame for this supposed issue. We acknowledge that it is so rampant that people are really mad at us but we didn’t do it.
SMH. And LMAO.
