Ford stops the sale of '99 Cobra Mustangs |
||||
|
A few weeks ago we noted that we had obtained more information on the 1999 SVT Cobra's problems; however, we did not post it. Below is some of that information which was released to Ford/SVT dealers on 08 August 99. NOTE: Ford Motor Company has NOT asked us to stop posting material that we obtain concerning the 1999 Cobra Mustang.
TO: FORD SVT DEALERS (SMD#268) FROM: SVT HEADQUARTERS RE: 1999 SVT COBRA STOP SALE DATE: AUGUST 5, 1999 Effective immediately, all dealers must discontinue the sale of all 1999 SVT Mustang Cobra vehicles. Ford's Special Vehicle Team recently completed an investigation into a customer concern regarding a shortfall in engine power on the 1999 SVT Mustang Cobra. The investigation has confirmed the 1999 SVT Cobra is not achieving its horsepower rating of 320hp. We are preparing a communication to all 1999 SVT Cobra owners advising them of this concern, and informing them that they will be contacted when parts to complete the service action are available. The service action will consist of a remanufactured intake manifold with improved airflow, a new low-restriction exhaust muffler assembly, and an enhanced engine electronic control module recalibration. SVT will provide all dealers with a copy of the customer letter prior to its being mailed to customers. Additional information on the service action, as well as the process for adjustments for floorplan reimbursement, will be communicated as soon as possible. Questions should be directed to the SVT Information Center at 800-367-3788 (800-FORD-SVT). BlueOvalNews.com |
