I am at my dealer tight now reporting this. Fingers crossed they will help. Others have posted that the dealer took care of replacement. I only ha e 4600 miles on a 2024 Tremor.

Did the dealership replace it?

The Dealer said the warranty department denied my claim... I will wait until later this spring or early summer and have it replaced through my insurance.

My 2018 had the same issue. I received my truck late September and by November it was an apparent defect. Mostly it showed at sunrise and sunset when the light was low and directly into the windshield blurring vision. I had a bit of a fight with Ford over it because they insisted on pictures which were difficult to take and capture the bubbles although easily seen by eye in the right light. The service manager was very helpful pursuing it and after about a month I got a new windshield.

So your outside vision is seriously impaired in your front windshield because of a Ford sponsored sub-contractor's poor quality and is a serious safety concern and ti's not covered.........

Have safety recalls gone they way of the dinosaurs?

That's only the first part. If approved then you wait until they get glass and have it installed.

The dealer had a local glass shop do mine it took one day while I left it. F150 windshields ain't exactly scarce.

It is clearly stated in the manual that the warranty is void on the auto drive/lane keep features if you dnot use the right front windshield and front door glass. Has to do with audio dampening. Just FYI

I have noticed this in mine in direct sunlight in morning/evening. Bought in Dec 25

THIS.
The windshield and both front door windows are with a thicker PVB layer for audio/sound control purposes.
