Ford fixed for free of course, apparently the pad material was crap and then have changed to a higher quality crap now. The piston in the caliper must be turned when retracting it back into the caliper... this is part of the parking brake system. Hopefuuly, you haven't yet resorted to brute force to retract the pistons as this will damage the calipers requiring their replacement. I do not recall any warranty extension on rear brakes but there is a TSB advising us that brake pad material has been changed and (if we are dealing with factory installed pads) the front pads should be changed at the same time to maintain front/rear brake balance.
