what exactly is a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin). if there is a TSB about a problem, will the dealer fix it for free like a recall? i dont really understand the signifigance of them, but then again, i dont know a god damn thing about cars lol[:@]

 

if a part has been reported to fail but not enough in every car to warrant a recall, then yeah, just take it on on that TSB and it'll be fixed at their expense like a recall.

 

Only if it's still under warranty! If it's got 100k on it, you pay! (In most cases)

 

i suppose that's true for a TSB. not a recall though. i had to take my old 98 v6 in for the E-Brake or something like that. or rather, my mom did when it was hers. it was well out of warranty but was fixed free.

 

ya recalls don't have to be under warranty...

 

Wish they'd put out a recall for my damn seatbelt! It keeps twisting and it won't retract unless I guide it!

 

Have you pulled the bolt and twisted the belt? That was the first thing I did when I got mine. Just pull the bolt on the floor, pull the belt out of the sheath, twist it, put it back in the sheath, and bolt it back down. I also removed the worthless loops from the seats... Mine already has the new little plastic bushing on the C-pillar mount, but maybe you need to talk to Ford about getting those...
