Anyone else get the notice of the safety recall on their door locks?

I have a 2016 gt and haven't received anything. I'll be interested in following this.

16's are safe.

Here's the recall info.


Summary

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 Ford Focus, 2013-2015 Ford Escape and Ford C-MAX, 2015 Lincoln MKC and Ford Mustang, and 2014-2016 Ford Transit Connect vehicles. A component within the door latches may break, preventing the doors from latching and/or leading the driver or a passenger to believe a door is securely closed when, in fact, it is not.
Consequence

A door that is not securely latched could open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant.
What Owners Should Do

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the door latches with an improved part, free of charge. Due to a limited parts supply, each owner will be sent an interim notification beginning October 3, 2016 and will receive a second notice when parts are available in the second quarter of 2017. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 16S30.

I always worry about safety recalls when getting a new vehicle anymore. Seems like everything is so complex anymore and you never know if your new product is going to be faulty or not.

It's interesting how all the recalls never have the parts available. Wtf is up with that?
