A fun warranty experience with a question and possible warning...
So my truck, a '22 Lariat, which has been fantastic up until this point, got the 'stop safely now' error in my MIL's driveway a couple weeks ago. Sucks, but Ford roadside came in clutch and we were able to get it to our local dealership without too much drama.
Got to the dealership, they did some checking on the 12v, determined that wasn't the issue, and found that the BMS had failed. Thankfully the truck has 99k miles on the odometer meaning had this gremlin waited a few more weeks I would have been -screwed-.
That said...the work order apparently needs both a new BMS module and a specific wiring harness for the module. As it turns out there is only -one- of those harnesses left in the entire country, and we're not even sure it actually functions/exists. Additionally apparently the part is being retired by Ford??
So...what happens if they literally cant fix the truck due to lack of parts?
PS: FoMoCo and the dealer have been totally reasonable and helpful so far through this process, did have a couple hiccups with a lack of loaners and a service advisor quitting mid-stream, but both were resolved by the companies involved. I'm mostly just wondering what (if any) options I'll have if my truck is bricked forever...
