Don't try to tell me ford QC department found them, they wouldn't catch a flaming ford even if it drove off the line on fire. I think they found out they were having problems by regular customers having their transmissions come apart on the road. Ford then backtracked to find the source of the problem which finally had them shutting down f150 lines to try to gather up all the defective transmission parts. At least they tried to do the right thing. Now hopefully they will do the same to any customers that have tranny issues in the future.
They were discovered in a batch of trans that were only put into the 07 test builds (the trans locked up in dyno). Everything was shutdown to make sure the batch did not spill over to any 06 models.
