Hi just wanted to confirm if there ever was a diff recall.  A mechanic told me today that he thought my 2012 F6 had an open diff and not LSD and was probably swapped out on a diff recall as they had problems.

no that I know of... if you had an F6, it was supposed to be an LSD, you'd think... but if it's a ute, I'm not entirely sure.

Thanks,     Just found out how to test via two rear wheels off the ground and spin one by hand.  spin same direction = LSD.   I will do this on the weekend,  I question this as it was a reputable garage (although didnt believe him about recalls and ford throwing an open diff in there,   I thought BS) .   So has me worried about if the previous owner had changed it out though.

yes, that's an easy test to do, but a LSD with worn-out clutches will do a similar thing... but will also usually have signs of leakage or friction sounds as it spins.
