I received a recall notice from Ford Dec 2016 referencing NHTSA safety recall 16V-777. Aug 2017 I still hadn't heard anything so I asked Ford what was going on using Ford website live chat. Ebonee said parts still not available. Jan 2018 got another letter saying parts now available. Called dealership then and again today 4/11/18 & they said still not available. Very frustrated and concerned about what might happen due to possible fuel leak. We want this fixed but no one seems to be able to help.

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.
