Molded lead frame and oss replacement. I was not notified of the molded lead frame recall 16n02. I experienced the electrical issue described in the recall in my driveway. My dashboard lit up like a christmas tree and would only drive in first gear. I drove to a mechanic that was closer than the ford dealer and was off of back roads so I could drive in first gear. I paid for the repair. I recently received a recall notice 19s07 which is for programming the oss sensor. I asked to be reimbursed for my repair and I was told no by crescent ford & trucks. They said 19s07 is for programming only. I believe ford should reimburse me for the lead frame, connector, automatic transmission fluid, and the speed sensor.
