Thanks.

Yup. Just got told about it from my dealer. Truck is en route.
I guess this is bound to happen when trucks have been sitting for 2+ months.

Sucks and the real deal.

I have 3 mo old Gen 3 37 pp and when I saw this recall post yesterday I went out and crawled under the truck and sure enough there were 2 insulator panels that were close to the drive shaft that were loose. 1 had the silver heatshielded surface the other was black surface. Both were held in place in the middle by 2 plastic trim style tabs. It looked like the rest of the backside surface area had some sort of adhesive on it that was no longer sticking to the metal underside. I took double sided 3M automotive grade tape and re-adhered the areas that had come loose. I will monitor this to see if it lasts long term. In my experience that 3M tape is pretty durable stuff. On a side note….it’s hard to believe that these flimsy little insulator “pads” …1/4” thick would do any damage to the drive shaft?? I guess if they got wrapped up/around the drive shaft it could be an issue but a bit of a head scratcher. Hopefully my DIY solution works?!

I have a 3 mo old 37 as well...same story as yours...I didn't have a fix in mind...another issue to be addressed I guess...let us know how your fix holds up...hopefully rain and dust/dirt dont quickly break the band aid.

Having a First year launch vehicle along with manufacturing challanges (covid/parts/labor market, etc...) have certainly meant we need to be patient and simply ride this wave----I don't regret my purchase ---but I am 100% confident in taking my truck on long road trips into the desert?? Not really. sure Love driving it but it has required alot of attention and some issues still remain...Lucky to have one but it is a needy girlfriend...fun but man does she test ya!! Cheers

and I just fixed my crooked exhaust pipes...another trip to the dealer. Even my boys are asking why I am always fixing the new truck...wife knows better (lol) My gen2 was easy to own....
