There's also a "Fix-Kit" for it...

I've actually been reading a bit about it, that particular run you're talking about had 14 trucks, 10 of them had the same damage.

There's a video on that page, if I were a Ford or SVT rep, I wouldn't warranty that either. The guy claimed he was doing 125 in a production truck, in the desert, over major hazards. You can only do so much with something from the factory, and driving it like a real Baja truck (Even though Ford claims you could be able to) isn't a good idea as it sits from the factory unless you want to void your warranty.
