Recall came in about 3 weeks ago now

I had mine done last week, it took about an hour, longer for 4x4 models. I just don't get the dealer not knowing about a recall, they should know first, and be ready for all the trucks they sold-have enough parts on hand.

My recall states '05-'06 F-150 and Mark LT I do not think this recall is for the '08 model.
I got mine a couple of weeks ago. It took ford a week to gets the parts; then they claim I need to schedule an appointment and that it will take a 1/2 day or longer.

i just got mine back from the dealer today.... they said they changed it, but when i looked under the hood, every hose there was the same..... coated with a road grime film.. i would think that one would look brand new since they "fixed the recall". so, can anyone post a pic on which exact hose it is so i can verify this?

i would hate to think that that are lying to me and then have my brakes fail because of this.... or maybe i would like it.... im thinking free service for quite a while based on their neglect !!!

Took my 06 screw in this morning. I called them and they said they would work me in today since I was in town and save me a trip back later. Excel Ford in Cabot AR is a great dealership. They have always bent over backwards for me even though I didn't buy from them.(selling dealer sold and moved locations)

I got my letter a week ago, calls for 04 thru 06 F150's, mine is an 06. They said it would take about 4 hours, trying to get an appoinment is like pulling teeth.

The hose gets changed from under the truck. You won't see any sign of work done under the hood.
