Could you get it replaced/repaired under warranty without the TSB?

I might try. I am awaiting a response on my request for the front seat right now. My front seat is not horrible, but it is unacceptable in my mind. Will see how Fords mind is.
In general, a dealership isn't going to do any "warranty" work that they can't get reimbursed for from Corp. Remember, technically, the dealership is not Ford, only an independent business licensed to do business under the Ford name and product line.

I'm curious how these tsb s work. Wouldn't the dealership want to do them because they are getting paid by ford for them. It looks like guaranteed money to me.
Is there a chance that for d would deny them?

Is anyone having problems with their side mirror defrosters? I use them to get rid of the dew in the am here in FL since we never have frost and they work excellent until this morning the passenger side was fine but the driver side didn't come on?

TSB 15-0131
The above TSB information is already on this site, but this TSB is not listed on the first post for this thread of 2015 F150 TSBs.
---
BEWARE:
Sadly, at least one FSE, Gary Blakely on Oct 28, 2015, has REFUSED to allow this TSB to be applied to a vehicle with the problem, even though the dealer had already ordered the parts and was going to do the TSB repair.
The TSB mentions two of two conditions need to be met to apply the TSB. My 2015 F150 meets both.

Sub'd! I just picked up my truck today, so I'd like to think that the dealer took care of any of these issues that were relevant! If not, I hope I get a letter!

TSB 15-0153 Still Missing
Anyone have a copy of this one? My build date is within the dates specified. The only thing I have noticed is that I have no touchscreen "buttons" for my heated and cooled seats. The pictures in the manual indicate they should be on the Climate page and Home page, along with the one for the heated steering wheel (which is present).
(When I asked about this TSB while showing her the missing soft buttons, my service advisor told they had not heard of any issues or seen the TSB)
