Looks like Ford didn't want to admit fault out in the open so behind our backs they redesign the part.  I don't know about you but indirectly they've proved to me that they were at fault.  If your part was so good why did you change it?

They did this with the center caps on the wheels.

I first went in and asked them to give me another one because one fell off. They said they couldn't because they didn't have the broken part to send back to Ford.... So I bought one.

I installed it and week later lost another. After replacing several on my own, I got on that looked a little different.

They improved the part... Spelling out they were defective.

I know it;s small.... but still.
