I don't really know what it takes for Ford to do a recall but I'd think the blend door actuator would qualify. I don't know if a recall is called just for safety issues or not. It seems like there is a blend door actuator thread daily. They almost all seem to go out right after warranty. I know this has been a terrible problem for Ford but I don't see it as their problem since the dealerships get the money to repair Id one chooses to get it done there. **** poor part imo.

 

This, and the Power Slider with defrost!

 

How come each thread dies off so quickly? You would think it would get some discussion traction.

 

What happens when that door goes out, no heat?

 

Correct. I suppose you could not have A/C either but in my situation I didn't have heat. So no defrost

 

yeah there do seem to be alot of problems with those and the rear defrost. my bosses 2010 platinum had both done to his truck.

 

That has been a problem in a lot of Fords, F150, Explorer ect for at least 15 years that I can remember. I had a 98 explorer, and 2004 explorer that both had it happen. Ford is never going to own up to responsibility for a 98 cent part that takes 1000.00(labor) dollars to replace, times thousands of vehicles.

 

yeah, my '98 explorer came to mind as well.
