Anyone's dealer have issues getting it installed? They said the one they put in was leaking so now they have to order a new one. So I'm carless going into the weekend waiting on another to come in.

You're talking about a driveshaft? I didn't know there was anything in a driveshaft that could leak.

Haven't heard about this recall.

The driveshaft has CV joints that can leak grease.
I'm aware of this, but technically that's not a leak. That's more like oozing. LOL

I did...but for different reasons

I took mine in because they said they had all the parts to do 2 warranty items and the driveshaft recall.

So they did 1 of warranty items correctly, 1 of the warranty items incorrectly and then came out and told me they didn't have the parts for the recall (I specifically said I wasn't coming in until all parts were available and they assured me they were).

So they ordered the recall parts, and the failed warranty parts and scheduled me again.

I returned, they did the warranty repair, and when they went to start on the recall they found the front pinion seal leaking. Can't replace the driveshaft with a pinion seal leak...

PROBLEM! Item not available anywhere in Texas and on backorder nationwide!

After multiple days searching they found one at a dealer in Oregon, got it shipped to them and then finally got it installed.

I was without the Bronco for a couple weeks, and had to drive a really bad base model F150. When I say badly equiped base, I mean it had nothing...NOTHING. I was pretty pissed.
