Hey Chris, the install issue is an issue with Firestone not us, unfortunately, and it appears that the issue you're speaking about is still active. It also seems to be an issue with certain F-150's not all of them, so I'd assume the issue is isolated enough to where they aren't pushing a fix for it yet.

If there is anything else I can do for you, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!
