Vehicles Affected: Approximately 6,500 model-year 2015-17 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang and GT350R Mustang muscle cars
The Problem: Engine oil cooler tube assemblies may have insufficient crimps on the hose that could lead to a hose separation and an oil leak. This could cause a sudden loss of engine oil that may result in engine failure and, in the presence of an ignition source, a fire. Ford stated that it is not aware of any fires, accidents or injuries associated with the issue.
The Fix: Dealers will check for potential oil leaks and replace the engine oil cooler tube assembly for free.
What Owners Should Do:Ford did not immediately announce an owner-notification schedule. Owners can call the automaker at 866-436-7332 for more info.
