Recall 06V-310: Suspension

Reported Aug 8, 2006 · 745 vehicles affected · ROUSH PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS, INC.

Problem: On certain passenger vehicles built on the ford mustang gt chassis, the anti-roll bar attachment bracket on the front strut can separate from the strut housing due to inconsistent welding.

Risk: If the broken bracket contacts the tire, sidewall damage can occur, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

Fix: Dealers will install new struts free of charge. The recall began on september 18, 2006. Owners may contact roush at 1-866-307-6788.

Recall 05V-274: Air Bags

Reported May 31, 2005 · 680 vehicles affected · ROUSH PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS, INC.

Problem: On certain altered passenger vehicles equipped with roush leather seat packages, the occupant classification system (Ocs) sensor system can intermittently deactivate the passenger air bag and illuminate the dash display showing "passenger airbag deactivated" while the vehicle is operating.

Risk: In certain crash conditions, the passenger's air bag may not deploy, increasing the risk of injury to a seat occupant.

Fix: Roush is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Roush will replace the passenger side seat cushion with a "service pack." the "service pack" will contain a stock seat cushion and an OCS that has been properly calibrated for the installation of leather seat covers. Roush will then recover the passenger seat cushion with a different leather, and will also modify the driver's side seat cushion with a matching foam and leather for asesthetic reasons. The recall began on september 6, 2005. Owners may contact roush at 1-800-597-6874.

The speedometer is not working. Says I'm going 110 miles an hour when doing around 55 MPH. I know this is a common issue with this year of mustang.
