I RECEIVED A RECALL ON MY 2011 ESCAPE IN LATE 2016 INFORMING ME ABOUT AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL DELIVERY MODULE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT THE TIME, INFORMING THEM THAT I HAD BEEN NOTICING FUEL SMELLS, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REMEDY THE ISSUE, OR PERFORM THE RECALL. IN JANUARY OF 2018 I RECEIVED ANOTHER LETTER SAYING THAT PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE, BUT AS OF APRIL, TWO LOCAL DEALERSHIPS STILL SAY THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE NECESSARY PARTS FOR THE REPAIR. THE SAFETY RECALL IS 16S41/NHTSA RECALL 16V-777. BASED ON THE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS OF THIS RECALL, IT SEEMS THAT FORD IS BEING VERY SLOW IN DELIVERING PARTS TO THE DEALERSHIPS TO MAKE THIS REPAIR.

RECALL # 16S41 FUEL DELIVERY MODULE. I HAVE BEEN WAITING MONTHS, AND PART STILL NOT AVAILABLE AT DEALERSHIP. CALLED THIS MORNING TO INQUIRE? STILL NO PART. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, WHICH IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO RECALL. I HAVE REJECTION STICKER, AND WON'T BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. WORST IS WHAT IF IT CATCHES ON FIRE, FORD HAS NO ANSWER FOR ME
