NHTSA complaint #10899848, filed 2016-08, 3,800 miles“The blend door actuator has failed on multiple occasions. There was a recall last August and we had the equipment repaired at the Ford dealership in Ayden. Just after one year it is not failed again. I called and the warranty for the equipment was 12 months. I am disappointed that we are now stuck with paying to repair what is a known equipment issue. My concern is there could be a fire or electrical concern throughout the truck. There are no warning lights, only a constant clicking sound in the rear of the truck where the blend door actuator is housed.”
