What Happened
Your vehicle's front strut, which helps absorb bumps and keep your car stable, has a small bracket that may break due to poor welding. This bracket is made by Eibach and is used on your 2005-2007 Ford Mustang.
Risk if Unfixed
If the bracket breaks, it could cause your tire to rub against the bracket and lead to damage to the tire, which could potentially cause a crash.
Free Fix
Eibach will notify you and provide new struts free of charge to replace the faulty ones. You can contact Eibach at 951-256-8300 to schedule the replacement, which will start on December 1, 2006.
