   There is a list of customer service items on my truck, and one recall   
   for the camera, none of which I have had any issues with, but the known   
   defective air conditioners that explode internally that plagued 2024   
   trucks that came out of Fords Kentucky plant isn't even on the list.  I   
   was told there was a recall by the dealer and it was replaced (not just   
   the compressor) by the dealer with no issue or complaint.
