The PASSENGER EXTERIOR A-PILLAR APPLIQUE TRIM CLIP ATTACHMENT broke loose while driving over a year & half ago. Took to Ford for repair but they advised there was a (recall January 19, 2024) but parts were not available yet. Would like to know exactly how much longer I have to drive around with the missing piece and potentially having to worry about the Drivers side breaking off. I've also had to temporarily repair the DRIVERS DOOR B-PILLAR to keep it from fully detaching (Recalled May 23, 2025). This is absolutely ridiculous to be waiting a year and half for parts to fix something that can cause harm and has been deemed RECALLED.
