TSB's

[V Ro]

I went to the Ford dealer and asked them for the TSB's for my 2003 2wd ST and he said there were only 2.



By reading here there seems to be a bunch more. Is there a list anywhere so I can get everything taken care of?



Thanks

if your are within your coverage plan AND you actually have the issue Ford will service it for free. Out of coverage you pay out of your pocket...

I am over the original 36k....can you get an extened warranty after the initial runs out?

A TSB, in itself, does not mean that something needs to be fixed on your ST. When I look at the list of 2004 TSB's, only one affected me...the trans fluid additive. So a dealer isn't going to check for each item.....you have to present the ST to them with a valid problem that they can verify.

I can only see a couple that I have. But for the dealer to tell me that there are no other TSBs but the 2 they told me about is complete BS. I jsut want to have somehting to back it up when I walk in there next time.



But they will not fix a TSB if I am over warranty? That doesn't seem right. What if it came out and they never told me?

I may be off here but I think a TSB is just a heads up note to the dealers to tell them how to fix something or why something needs fixing in the first place. It is not a recall of a defective part.

Grump is correct. Except for the tranny additive RECALL that affected nearly all 04's and some 05's, a TSB is a notice that details the corrective action required for a common but not necessarily wide spread problem that has been noted by dealer repair shops. As I stated, of all the TSB's for 04's, only the tranny additive recall affected mine. Knowing what TSB's were issued is good info, but a TSB does not mean that something has to be fixed.
