BCM Needs Replacing

[DangerRanger7]

Haven’t even had the car a full year and the local dealership is saying the BCM needs to be replaced..

Is it normal not to be given a loaner for warranty work? Local spot said “there’s a waiting list” and they’d have to check. I have a job to get to and from lol

AFAIK, loaner vehicles are a courtesy option and not mandated by Ford warranties.
My dealer will provide a loaner vehicle, if it's available. If not, you are on your own.
What caused the BCM needing to be replaced?

They’re still finding out. The advisor couldn’t even tell me how long it’ll take to get the part until the next day since they’re VIN specific. So as far as I know it could be 2 days, could be 2 weeks..

What kind of problems were you having?
General electrical gremlins or something that was repeatable or catastrophic?
Sure it wasn't rodents chewing on wires?

my ford and my nissan dealer both told me if the vehicle has to stay over night, i get a loaner. nissan did it many times because my titan had lots of warranty issues. the ranger, i haven't had to get a loaner yet but i asked about it

Key wasn’t being detected for both. We don’t have rats where I live and wouldn’t have that problem since our neighbors both have cats

My bcm went out a few month after purchase . New one seems fine, 1yr and going.

My dealer offered me a loaner vehicle for 2 hours of warranty work(block heater replacement). I told them I'd wait as they doing oil change too.
