What's wrong: Certain aftermarket eibach branded front struts only, part no. 35101.8001, and eibach branded front struts as suspension kits, part nos. 35101.840, 35101.680, 35101.780, 35100.680, 35100.780, 4.10135.680, and 4.10035.780, sold for use on 2005 through 2007 Ford mustang vehicles. The front anti roll bar attachment bracket on the front strut can separate from the strut housing due to inconsistent welding. This could…

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

The fix: Eibach will notify owners and offer to provide new struts free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on December 1, 2006.
