Talking Ford Recalls CPS!!!

GREAT NEWS!!! Received a letter from Ford today stating that they are recalling the CPS in our trucks. All I have to say about it is "its about time".

Do we need the recall letter in hand to get the dealer to replace the original cps?? and should the computer be "reflashed" at the same time??

Got mine done thursday

I got mine done the 24th. I just showed up about 1 and was on the road back out at 1:45. I told them what I was there for and they never asked about a letter or anything, since I NEVER got one, it was no biggie. I told the service writer about the chip and they said No problem....They would just pull the one one and put in the new one..... I heard the guy blow my train horns when he pulled into the shop to put her on the lift, and 32 minutes later, he walked in and told me he was done. I could watch from the waiting room and they only did what they were supposed to. He liked the Lope idle from the DP Tuner and they said it sounded great..told him a little about DP tuner and he said he would check it out....No worries with this dealer but there are some out there that have not been as good as this one......I see no need to pull the chip, just tell them. They are SUPPOSED to only pull the black one and put in a grey one...he had done so many of them, it is second nature for him..they were really good...

No you don't need a letter. They will run the VIN and can tell if it has been done...etc. Thats how they track recall work anyway.

Don't have the reciept, bought it at Midnite in the rain in Kansas City. Am now in South Florida so dropping by the same dealership won't happen til mid May. Glad I got it after the price dropped, I guess. Didn't they cost over $100 once??????? Thanks for the reply.
