Cam Position sensor recall
I talked to dealer mechanic and the recall is to inspect and replace the sensor with gold bracket! if yours has the silver bracket it will not be replaced. This is what I was told by the Mechanic and the service rep in garage!

I find that interesting because when you run the VIN on the ford website it clearly states to replace the CPS but doesn't mention brackets or colors. However my dealer won't replace it until I get the letter from Ford on the recall, then and only then will do the work. So my question is has anyone received the letter from Ford on the recall?

I haven't gotten a letter yet,but I am the third owner...Checked with the Ford dealer and his response was that he hadn't heard about it as yet..My Lincoln dealer where I get my work done said that it is a replace item,but can't do it w/o the letter...He is also gonna check and see if any of the other recalls have been done..

I learned about the CMP sensor recall from postings on this board. I looked up the VIN numbers of both of my 7.3's and both were on the list. I took them to the dealer and both received the new CMP sensor no questions asked and at no charge.
I have yet to receive my letters!

Gentlemen,
My Cam Pos sensor went out prior to the recall and I bought one from Ford for $27 and installed in 15 minutes. It is almost not worth it to have them do the install if you have any down time on your vehicle.

If the dealerships are giving you all any problems call Ford or the NHTSA.
