Ford Recalling Nearly 500 GT's - 12/21/2004 8:57:43 PM    ViperGTS Posts: 14468 Joined: 9/28/2003 From: Maryland Status: offline Ford recalls GTs due to potential cracking in suspension control arm AMY WILSON | Automotive News Posted Date: 12/20/04 DETROIT -- Ford Motor Co. is recalling its GT supercar, saying the vehicle is unsafe to drive because of potential cracking in a suspension control arm. Ford has notified dealerships of the GT recall. The recall affects the 448 GTs produced this year. Of those, 289 have been shipped to dealerships, and 106 are in customers' hands. Ford says no accidents or injuries have been reported. Engineers discovered the cracked control arm in one GT during a routine field inspection. It may be weeks before the cars are back on the road. A casting problem caused the flaw, a Ford spokeswoman said. Ford is developing a new casting procedure and will then produce new control arms. The base price of a GT is $143,845, including a $1,250 destination charge and a $2,600 gas-guzzler tax.
