If you contact ford they will say it's a dealership issues. However, they may be willing to absorb some of the costs. Also, your cats are covered to 80k miles assuming that their failure wasn't due to a stuck or improperly functioning plug, cop or injector. If they find it's a bad injector ford does not have to cover cat damage. You'll be responsible for the $1000 to $1500 replacement cost. Find a new dealer, go in and explain everything to the advisor and see what they say. Don't get pedantic (although it seems you certainly have the right). You'll get better service if you keep your cool.
I don't want to hijack the thread but since the OP's problem has been resolve and since I own an '07 F150 with the 5.4 and read the statement .......

Can anyone explain the logic to this? Certainly, IMO, not operator error or neglect.
thanks.
