1004ron

My apologies if this has been posted - I searched but couldn't find any posts on it. I received the subject recall notice in the mail and would like to hear from others that have had the recall done and if there's any signs that the trim etc. has been worked on. I'm OK with my local Ford dealership doing it, but want to be sure that my vehicle isn't the first one they do and any of the trim is damaged while doing so - don't want them practising on my car.

Would one of you be kind and check the attached photo and compare it to your car and tell me if there's something missing on my engine cover mounting. I'm guessing that the threaded brass piece should have a post in it that engages in a rubber grommet in the cover.

All my cars that had leather seats I applied Lexol conditioner from new and it kept the leather like new until sold many years later - now with the Sport and its suede inserts on the seats I cant apply Lexol, at least not to the suede parts. I'm not sure if its genuine suede, but does anyone have suggestions on how to treat the Sport seats?

I had mine done for $65 and very happy with the results. Having seen how its done, I'll not be trying the YouTube DIY methods.

I serviced my Sport at 5K miles, changing the PTU oil using Royal Purple, and the engine oil and filter using Mobil-1 and OEM filter. I would like to take it to my dealership at around 10K miles or when the intelligent service indicator says its due, but would like to stick with the oil I'm using, Mobil-1 but before I asked them I'd like to hear from members if this is generally accepted by Ford dealerships. Of course I keep all my receipts for the services I do - by law this should uphold my warranty, but would like to hear if others doing this have had any issues with warranty claims being rejected on DIY services.

Thanks for the responses - I think I wont take the risk of making it worse with a DIY attempt and rather take it to a local shop.

My 2 month old Sport has a ding in the passenger door and I've seen a few DIY methods in a Google search and I'm considering a professional service to remove the ding. Does anyone have experience with the DIY or professional service? - should I try one of the DIY methods and if that doesn't do it take it to a pro?

You don't say which model Edge you have. As far as I know, Ford started installing the drain plug from 2015 in the Sport, but have no idea if this applies to the other models.

My Sport was built in Jan 2017, and this weekend I did an oil and oil filter change at 5.2K miles and noticed what looks like an oil leak, however it looks odd because the oil was clean, and there was no oil on the underside cover, and no oil spots on my garage floor. I've cleaned it and if I see more oil on the next oil change I'll be taking to my dealership.

Changed my engine oil and oil filter and PTU oil today at 5.2K mi. There was oil on the right rear corner of the oil pan, but I could not see where it came from and it was clear like new oil, so I'm suspecting that it was dropped when the engine was being topped up at the factory or dealer - cleaned it up and if I see more at the next service I'll lodge a warranty claim.

Today I changed engine oil, oil filter, and PTU oil at 5,200 mi. The PTU oil change was real easy with the drain fitted on these later models. As can be seen in the photo, the oil blacken the paper towel and there was a few filling attached to the drain plug magnet. I used Royal Purple 75-140 synthetic, and will most likely change it every 10 ~ 15K

Looking forward to the pictures and additional detail.

My Sport built in Jan 2017 has the same fob as in the picture above.

Welcome and congrats on your new Sport. I've had mine just over one month and loving it.

Ford don't make mud flaps for the Sport rear, so I went ahead and ordered the ones for the front, which should help reduce the dirt flung up onto the sides. These are really good quality made n Germany, but don't match the Sport side trim profile - see the pictures. We're moving into a new home in a week or two, so will need to drill the 6mm hole for the 4th plastic rivet after the move.

I've had my 2017 Sport since 9 March, 2400 mi, and get 20 to 22 mpg with 80% highway and 20% town driving (light traffic) - no lead foot driving. I reset my No. 1 trip meter every fill-up and the computer mpg is very close to my calculated mpg based on gallons to fill and distance covered.

The cargo area mat feels more plastic than rubber, and they ship it rolled up so it takes a while, and a warm day for it to lay flat. In a way, the plastic feel is a good thing when it comes to sliding items forward. The bumper protector is also plastic type material, looks good and will help in the event of something dragging across it. The Cover is a bit of a pain in the butt if you have packages that are a little taller than a regular shopping bag, and inevitably when we go shopping at Costco I need to take it off. Due too poor packing, it was delivered with a small tear in the material, and the plastic handle chaffed on the black metal square tube - parts.com offered to replace it, but I need to pay return shipping so I'll just live with it, and in future buy this type of thing at my local dealership. Of the three things in the kit, if I was buying again, I'd not include the Cover. parts.com were reluctant to ship because they could not find my 2017 Edge Sport VIN on their system, and I had to convince them that I'll not hold them responsible if it did not fit.

@WWWPerfA_ZN0W Thanks for that, I'll most certainly be servicing mine at around 30K and having the fill and drain plug makes it a lot easier.

Thanks for that confirmation. One more thing, does it have a regular filling plug, or does it have a temperature sensor that needs to be removed to fill ?

I've just bought a 2017 Sport - is there any improvement in the later models PTU's, such as a drain plug etc.? If not, I'll use the instructions here to add a drain. I plan to have Ford do the first service and thereafter I'll be doing it, and plan to use RED LINE SHOCKPROOF® GEAR OIL in the PTU, which is what I use in my Harley transmission.

I sent them a message a few days ago asking if they had a kit for the Edge, and still waiting for a reply - that reflects poorly on a manufacturer and supplier.

Thanks, that's good news. At each service I'll do the checks that you suggest, and any sign of oil pooling I'll install one of those catch cans.

I'm a new Sport owner, and was tempted to go with the 3.5L V6 because of concerns with boosted direct injection engines intake fouling. This thread has been very quiet and a search revealed only this thread, so does that mean owners aren't experiencing this problem - keen to hear feedback before buying one of these UPR kits.

Only those three interest me - please give us more info on those, like where to buy them, and pics if you've already done the upgrades.

Thanks for that - I was about to purchase a set. It looks like Ford don't have any rear ones available for the Sport yet. FT4Z-16A550-BA https://accessories.ford.com/exterior/splash-guards/kit-mudflap-11113.html Vehicle Notes: Not For Use with Sport.
