About time they finally admitted to the electronic power steering issue, this cost me $1500. The internal relay on my steering gear ended up being corroded which causes them to short/malfunction and will make you lose power-steering. This happens on the most of their cars with the electronic power steering, more so on the Explorer/Flex Ecoboost.
When you get your recall letter, there should be a section about what to do in your situation.

Call your dealer where the work was done and request a refund.

Once rebate is processed, take unexpected cash and buy toys for your car!

How did it cost you $1500? Out of warranty at the time? Maybe you can petition Ford for a partial/ full refund?

I called FoMoCo and they told me the recall is "vin specific" and my vehicle is not covered. I'm going to wait it out until the recalls start getting sent out in the mail which is suppose to happen in July. If I don't get anything I'll be writing Ford with all the data and diagnosis I have that the dealer gave me.

Keep pushing anyway, Spartn.  It's not like the SHO and MKS aren't twins under their skinz!

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Only for cars in salt belt states. Doesn't apply to me in Florida. Still, I'd like to have mine replaced just for piece of mind.

Hmm.  I'll have to talk with dealer.  My car is from Dallas,  so probably not on the recall list.
