Program 23B24

[J17GT]

My dealer sent a mobile tech out to my house on Monday do the parking brake wiring harness recall / inspection. While the tech was here, he also looked at the tailgate step grab handle per the notice. There is a number stamping on a bracket that holds the handle. He did not say what number or range of numbers indicates the potential issue, but stated mine was fine and no repair needed.

It would really be nice for Ford to include this information in the letters so those of us willing to check on our own could do so rather than spending a half day at the dealership only to be told that it's fine.

Did anyone else get an email and letter for program 23B24 regarding the tailgate step grab handle?

I got this too. There is a you tube video about how to tell if your truck needs a new hinge. Something about the stamp on the hinge telling them if it's from the bad batch. I can't find it now but there is another thread with this info https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/attachments/23b24bull_assist_handle-pdf.74515/

Much appreciated, this is very helpful. I lucked out as I just confirmed that mine is lot code 13.
