I guess it appears they are avoiding the real problem likely do to cost to correct.

Where did you pull this from?

Yeah.....my guess is this solves the safety issue after it breaks prevents the vehicle from rolling and they will just fix all the broken vehicles if they ever break. I seen some members on the ST forum swap theirs out, it was about 4K for them to have it done. Odds are Ford doesn't want to eat...

Not sure how this affects the bolt breaking other than after breaks prevents the vehicle from rolling. Its going to break while driving.....very odd fix if that's it.

Its a advanced recall at the moment will go out to anyone with explorer I was told.....until the official goes out we will have to wait to see what's affected.

In a way yes, but the bushing as you can see is not there...there are different part numbers for the sub frames. If you want the 2 bolt rear sub you have to order that part. Can not just throw in a bolt. The 2.3L we likely suffer no downside from this...even towing. It is the 415Ft Torque...

The 2.3L does not carry the same amount of power as the 400HP 3.0L , there has been no bolt breaks on any of the 2.3L that I seen only the 3.0L

All 2.3 models have the 1 bolt in the rear, it was early 3.0L models the had the 2 bolt rear , then were moved to the same 2.3L 1 bolt sub frame. This recall likely only encompasses the V6 models. The bolt can not just be added it is a new subframe, not a cheap or quick task.

Your dealer does not know what they are talking about, You can not just add a bolt you have to change the subframe. The 2.3L all had the 3 bolt (1 Rear bolt) sub frame. There is no official fix other than the documented posted about the PCM program.
