Please note that a TSB exists for this problem, which means that it probably occurs fairly frequently. In order to repair the problem, a replacement bolt is needed, which fastens the cooler to the vehicle. This bolt is rarer than a live unicorn - no dealer within more than 100 miles of me has this bolt. On top of that, it will not arrive at my dealer until May 2, even though Ford has elevated my order to "emergency status".
Why can't Ford just take a bolt from the assembly line, package it and ship it to my dealer via overnight courier. Why does it have to be more complicated than that? If no bolts exist at all, then the assembly line would be at a stand still, and I'm sure that's not the case. I would like to think that repairs to existing vehicles should be more important than building new ones.
