“Inlet manifold coolant transfer passage on my 1996 Ford mustang with 4.6l 2v failed. As this occurred at speed and resulted in obscured forward vision, it created some hazard - as well as the subsequent inconvenience of an immobile vehicle. This fault has been subject to class action in the USA, but a significant proportion of affected vehicles, including mine, have been excluded on basis of age. The flaming Ford website has requested these incidents be reported via yourselves.”
