Exclamation 2007 Mustang Recall Reports

I was just looking on the Moter Trend web site and ran accross this recall. Some good info.

I have seen this posted about a half dozen times over the last couple of months. I truly wish people would quit posting this as a Ford recall.
Only thing Ford has to do with it is they make the car the aftermarket part goes on. It is Ebiach, not Ford.

Eibach make the FRPP handling kit... maybe that's why Ford is involved? Maybe it is the FRPP ones?

the dampers in the FRPP kit are made by Multimatic - not Eibach

I dont think Eibach makes dampners at alll...they just make springs and swaybars. I know in thier coil over kits, they outsource those to another company.

I hate it when I don't know if someone is joking or serious... anyway IIRC the OEM struts/shocks are built by Tokico for Ford.
