I never got the recall notices (Reprogram the PCM 21B10) nor (Cam Phaser Replacement 21N03).
The Ford Dealershit quoted me $7342.90 for related cam phaser repairs and replacement.
I bought the Raptor while serving oversees in Afghanistan through the MAS Ford Car Buying Program.
It was my dream truck - and first big purchase, for myself, in my life.

I've driven reasonably over the years, having 69,743 miles on it. I contacted Ford Customer Care to see what could be done perhaps covering the cost of a long-standing known issue with the VCT. They told me no, my "VIN has no association with that recall/notice" and therefore I'm on my own.
I guess I'm here to just scream into the abyss about it, will do the same on X.
My fault for not tracking the recall notices, my fault for thinking a 2017 Raptor was my 'dream' truck.

Well boys I'm off to sell all my Ford stock to help pay for the repairs, then sell the truck to buy a Toyota. I have 4 kids, 3 of which are of driving age, and I will not be buying them Fords and will make damn sure they and their kids NEVER buy a Ford. Mazel tov.
