Random thoughts for the day

My dealer did the work on this rear door handles based on a TSB... the issue is now an NHTSA recall, # 15V-040.  Ford uses a different reference number in the letter stating you should ask your dealer for a service date for Recall # 15S02 and to give the dealer your VIN.   

I just got the letter today.  It says they will inspect them and if they pass they will install "reinforcements to prevent future concerns" and if they fail a revised interior door handle assembly will be installed.  Of course, because it's a safety recall, no charges for parts or labor will be made regardless of age or mileage on your SHO.  They say less than 1/2 day... My dealer did that, the license plate light fixture, replaced the LP fuel pump, replaced the fuel control module, and test drove mine twice between 7am and noon on my last trip to the shop... so it should be quick if they get the parts. 

They also list an address to get a refund if you've paid for this service or authorize the dealer to refund the money on presentation of a paid receipt.

Ha,  I blamed my 4 year old son for breaking my rear inside door handle.   I think he did yank on it.  Was fixed under warranty.   Will have them check it out on next visit.

I guess its a safety recall,like BiGMaC stated,recall#15S02 had mine performed a couple of weeks ago and they also had to order the part for the rear passenger door handle,and installed reinforcement clips on three doors based on the work order,cause the passenger rear door failed inspection,have an appt friday for a few issues hopefully can get resolved.Z.

It looks like my new big girl will be here in a day or two....

Bronze Fire is the color I ended up with.
So how long before this girl becomes an alcoholic?

It took some time for this to roll out, as expected. I couldn't deal with mine just flopping around so I fixed it myself.

Not to certain what they mean by "reinforcments"...

For once I'm hoping the dealer leaves no gas in it.

I want to experiment....Shell v-power, maybe a gallon of corn and a couple bottles of HEET.

The goal is highest effective octane with least amount of corn for fuel volume

The guys over at the Mazdaspeed forums have had success with small amount of directly injected meth....

I hadn't ever seen that thread. I use to spend alot of time at that forum. If you wade through the mountains a horse crap, there's invaluable information, which can transcend platforms. Member Phate is also quite a contributor of all things Mazdaspeed, most recently suspension dynamics.

Pretty interesting study. If we could learn the sealing materials used in our fueling system, we could learn limitations without running to failure.

I think most commonly found materials in auto systems are fluorocarbon elastomers. Viton.
Also perhaps Buna Nitrile, Chemraz and Kalrez. All alcohol safe, but I suppose swell differently.
