This seems to keep coming up as people wondering if they should or have to do this.
Keep in mind, at this point at least, this is not a recall. This is a fully optional customer satisfaction program that is available to you as an Explorer owner. Ford is quite happy not to pay the labor to tear apart your vehicle to repair a problem that doesn't exist. If you feel comfortable that your car is safe, by all means just enjoy the drive and let this one just sit in your back pocket.
The underlying work is extremely invasive to the back end of the vehicle. And mine caught more than a few scratches on re-assembly that now have to be fixed, not to mention the chance of new squeaks, rattles, and other annoyances.
