Ford is offically recalling 400,000 vehicles because of the risk that your engine might go kablooey. It also mentions door latches and some other unimportant shit. This affects FiSTs made from 2014 to 2015 so run back to your Ford dealers if you can.

A modified Fiesta ST for your time.

the door latch thing got some good stories though. Lady said the door on her MKZ flew open with her baby in the car seat ready to just fly out...she was rather unhappy. Made better by the fact that the door latch couldn’t be replaced because the parts weren’t available.

Weld your doors shut and LS swap it

Umm... Unless the MKZ has explosives in the door like the SLS, I think she may have been exaggerating ever so slightly.

Wonder if a tune excludes you from the recall. If so a lot of them are pretty screwed

Should be able to just unmarry and have them flash the ECU. I’m sure Cobb will figure out how to make the tunes work with the updated factory ECU flash, so I’m not worried.

Magnussen-Moss dictates that they still have to prove causality in your mods causing the explosion, and a blanket recall is basically an admission that it’s not.

Ummm....if the baby is strapped in properly to the car seat it isn’t flying anywhere.

I’m taking my FoST in tomorrow to have the rear latch replaced, since that got recalled.
