RE: Letter from Ford......
There have been about 1000 posts explaining that the reprogram DOES NOT AFFECT OUR TUNES. They program the RCM (Restraint Control Module) and not the PCM (Powertrain Control Module). If you want to be extra safe mention to the service tech that you have a custom tune and not to touch the PCM.

The problem will come when some keen technician [sic] sees that there is an upgrade available for the PCM and thinks he's doing the owner a favour by also flashing that while he's 'plugged in'.
Unfortunately differences between stock and custom tunes can be quite subtle so it's not always easy to immediately detect that your Brenspeed race tune has been wiped.
Ialways install my Valet tune forwhenI take her in, that way not only are the tech's unable to rag on my baby, but it'd be obvious whenI collect it that the PCM has been reflashed.

My roomate got his notice yesterday. He's the original owner of his 07.
I just got my 06 a month ago and am the 2nd owner. Nothing has come in the mail but I took the car in anyway and they applied the fix for it.

tunes are not affected. I made sure I told the technician over 5 times not to touch the PCM that I had a custom tune in it. They didn't bother me about the mods, did my oil change and recall in a matter of an hour

Is it really, really necessary to have this fix done? I don't like taking my car to the dealer for anything.

Taking it in to a reputable dealership will not do any harm to your car. I know the one I take it to, is like Mustang heaven. They take very good care of my car. Besides, it only takes 25 minutes or less.
