When Ford issues a recall for any failing components in a car they do fix them all for free. They will use their nationwide dealership network to handle the labor portion of the recall.

Typically what happens is Ford will find a certain number of failing components in cars. From there they will determine if the number of failed parts meets the threshold to issue a recall. Typically if it is safety-related, like airbags, they have to issue a recall to keep the cars in compliance with the federal safety standards.

When you are notified that your car has a recall on it contact your nearest Ford dealership and let them know you received information about a recall campaign. From there they will be able to get you set up with an appointment to bring your car in and have the problem fixed free of charge. The dealership will send the bill for the parts and labor to Ford and it will cost you nothing to fix.
