Special Service Message PO181-Fuel Temp. Sensor

Three weeks ago I went to dealer with engine light on problem. Ford told me is was fuel temp. sensor which they replaced. Since then every night I was using my block heater, yesterday engine light came on again. Today went to same dealer they diagnosed same problem (fuel temp. sensor) and dealer was told by Ford not to fix the problem until farther notice. Dealer gave me note from Ford saying:
Effective date 02/22/2012
22227 6.7L-Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0181 when using block heater
Some 2011-2012 F-Super duty vehicles equipped with a 6.7 diesel engine may exhibit DTC P0181 when customers use the block heater. Do not attempt to repair this concern by replacing the fuel rail temperature sensor (9F951). Tis concern is currently under engineering investigation.

Is anybody else having this problem

Is it saying the temp is too high or too low? Or that the sensor itself it bad?

I think the sensor is bad, dealer sad they can't change the sensor for second time and is ok to drive.

Pretty much our hands are tied until engineering comes out with an updated fix.
