Radiator is only covered under the 3/36 bumper to bumper warranty, so unfortunately you are going to be out of luck with ford, unless your dealer will help you out.

I'm in the same boat.

Looks like if your truck doesn't have this leak now, it's only a matter of time before it does.

I'd like to look into this, tomlauten. PM me your case number, if you have it. If not, PM me your full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, mileage, and servicing dealership. I'll check out ways to help.

Has Ford changed/updated the radiators in more recent years? What about the 2015 models?

Same boat....seems the lake is getting crowded!

Went in for my oil change like the monitoring system said to...37,800+/- miles on it and they come and get me to show me a radiator leak! Yep...front drivers side just like all the others.
It was low on anti-freeze, but not enough to trigger a warning. They said at the dealer they had seen a few of these. Now I read of this problem all over the place including this forum. Have contacted Ford about it and they have offered a deal with splitting the bill, but I seen now it is a known problem that should have been addressed. Hope they can fix this, between this and a sensor going out at 25,000 miles and leaving me and my 83 yr old dad stuck along the road waiting for a tow truck and someone to come drive us 30 miles home, I'm starting to second guess my truck choice! Love the truck, but beginning to worry. ugh.
