This. Ford has been inundated with them in the last year, all Mickey Mouse minor stuff. The 3 on my F350 took about an hour and a half to finish all of them. Just read where Toyota recalled 700K plus vehicles for fuel pumps. Recalls are everywhere. First I've heard of a running problem with DEF heaters failing, and I would have heard in my profession.

My F350 has two of the three recalls you mentioned. I did not think these were big issues, so, I did not worry about them. I simply called my Dealer and scheduled an appointment for next week to get these items fixed with my next Oil Change.
Sometimes Recalls can be a good thing, for example: I bought a 2003 E250, used, several years ago, after I purchased it I found out about a recall on the ABS, so, after going to the Dealer, I had a brand new ABS unit on a 10 year old truck. Boy am I glad that part was on recall, I don't even want to know how much that would have cost If it went bad and I had to replace it out-of-pocket.
I think recalls are a good thing, problems are discovered and repairs are made at the manufacturer's expense. Once the issue is fixed, you no longer have to worry about that problem.David and Peggy

Just had all three recalls taken care of (from LED, carpet shielding, tailgate). I dropped it off at 7:30am and they didn't finish 'till 4:30pm. Manager said they had to wrestle w/ the tail gate fix. Oh well, done now - or at least till I get the next notice.

Going on a tangent now. . . . The craziest recall I was involved with was on my 2003 Toyota Tacoma. About 3 years ago, it failed the state inspection due to a rotted out frame. Toyota replaced the frame under the recall notice (they were buying some trucks back, I missed that window). Because my truck was so old, there was about a 9 month lead time to get a new frame. So they kept my truck and gave me a nice/new loaner vehicle for 9 months. When the frame came in, they completely rebuilt the truck onto the new frame - on a 13 year old truck mind you! That now 17 year old truck is still my daily driver and most all components underneath are rusted except the frame.

...and the number 2 item bit me Thursday. Living in Minnesota, we experience the salty road spray on our vehicles. I stopped by the self-service car wash Thursday before an appointment and sprayed down the truck quickly to knock the build up of salt off. Traveled about a mile to my next appointment and backed into the spot like I normally do (very slowly because the truck is a monster) which the parking lot backs up to a retaining wall.
I am a visual backer (mirrors and looking) not depending on the camera. I do use the audible from the back up system to ensure distance to an object. As I was backing into the spot my mirrors are showing I have about 4 feet to the wall. The audible comes on to indicate I am getting closer and suddenly "bang". Mirrors still showing 3-4 feet to the wall and audible is only slightly protesting, not screaming like I was too close. The ground appears in the camera like the tailgate is down. Sure enough, I get out and the tailgate is down. Likely the rinse before hand was the culprit. The tailgate was closed when I rinsed the truck.
My disappointment is there is no warning system for the tailgate when it's open unless you look at the rear camera. I get warnings that the doors are ajar or the hood is open but nothing about the tailgate. I have a cover on my box so the only way I know about the tailgate is the camera or physically getting out and looking. Stopped my the local body shop on Friday and get an estimate on the damage (very little visually) and it came to $2300.00.
I will be in touch with the dealership on Monday about the recalls and if Ford is going to cover the damage.

I bought mine in September. Also didn't want to buy the first year of the 10 Speed Transmission. My recalls are the same except for the daytime running lights and mine has one for the door handle freezing up. Since we spend 6 months in California (in the winter) they won't address that one. It's going in next week. Other than that I love it. Many more upgrades from the 2013 we had. Love the upgrades.
