[ReallyNice]

FYI for those that haven’t seen it. Already had mine replaced.

Hope they have one for the front camera as well. Mine looks like its on LSD.

I had both of mine replaced...at separate times due to availability.

Wow about time. This is very useful info, thank you. Now they just have to do a recall on the heated seats and we'll be golden...

Recalls are for safety related issues. What’s wrong with your heated seats?

Driver's side stopped working. Heater elements have not been available since last year to fix the problem. Admittedly I haven't looked in last couple of months.

This has been a consistent problem on Gen 2s, and Gen 1 before that. And in general it has been a problem on Ford vehicles. How many decades does it take to figure out a heated seat that doesn't burn out?

I have not seen any evidence of a widespread problem with heated seat mats; you’re making a generalization without any data to support it. The Gen 1 and Gen 2 are completely different part numbers as well. As with anything else, when you produce millions of the same part there is always the possibility that some will be faulty.

You are right, and I am usually not the one to generalize. I will share where my claim comes from then. My truck heated seat went out last December. My biz partner's Gen 1 had his second heating element go bad last year as well. Another buddy had the same problem on his F350. So maybe its not widespread as you say, but it has been prevalent in for me. I guess we are the unlucky three out of millions.

Haha I just made a joke in another thread about somebody won’t have to worry about Cam Phasers but enjoy your crummy cameras on the newer 2nd gens. Based only on seeing a few posts here and making a generalization. I didn’t think it was that widespread lol.

My camera went wacky in the first month. I slammed the tailgate and it's been working fine for 2 months.
I'll get the recall done anyway.
