Intake Warranty

[bgs66]

I have a 97 GT conv. and a leaking intake manifold, cracked by the thermostat housing. I thought I was going to have to spend $500 for a new and "improved" version but i found there's a recall on these plastic ones. I'm getting it fixed for free due to a recall. It's probably old news to some of you but time almost ran out for me, only 7 years from when car was made to get fixed. When i called for price from Ford parts dept. they didn't volunteer that its a recall issue. Maybe info for recall not in front of parts guy. Anyway I'm glad I found out about recall.

I had mine replaced about three months ago in my 98GT. Do you know what years are included in this recall?

I didnt know if they updated the recall or not. I went round and round with Ford customer service back when mine was replaced. They never gave me a stright answer on why the 98GT's were not part of the recall. They did tell me to hold on to all my paper work. Who knows Ford might send me a check

Sorry, I figured the '98s were included since they are similar but the page i pulled up was for 97 only. Try ALLDATA.COM I hope you can get yours replaced. Its sucks that they didn't make it right the first time but at least, in my case, they did make it right.

'98s were not included but did have the problem.
