Me too. But I am a bit suspicious.

1. I bought the car, used, from a Honda dealer, post warranty period, so how would they know I was the owner.

2. I have never received one of these emails before and I have owned it for 7 years now.

3. While the VIN number was correct, they got the year of manufacture wrong. You would think Ford would know when they built it.

4. They refer to it as a Falcon UTE (with capitals). It was never referred to like that in Ford documentation before.

On the other hand, it does not require you to click on a link if you still own it.


Strange.

Same boat, I got my FGII F6 privately in 2014 and never contacted Ford however it did go back to the dealer for some updates to the sat nav in 2015, but they found my work email address (thinking from my Raptor and Mach E EOI)

Sounds like they have been doing some data mining
