Ford announced a recall this morning on 2015 - 2017 GT350 and 350R:
Ford issues safety recall for certain 2015-17 Ford Shelby GT350/R Mustang vehicles to replace engine oil cooler tube assembly
Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 8,000 2015-17 Ford Shelby GT350/R Mustang vehicles for potential oil leaks and to replace the engine oil cooler tube assembly. In affected vehicles, engine oil cooler tube assemblies may have insufficient crimps on the hose that could lead to a hose separation and an oil leak. Sudden loss of engine oil may result in engine failure, and – in the presence of an ignition source – could lead to a fire.
Ford is not aware of any fires, accidents or injuries associated with this issue.
Affected vehicles include certain 2015-17 Ford Shelby GT350/R Mustang vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Feb. 24, 2015 to Aug. 30, 2016.
Dealers will replace the engine oil cooler tube assembly at no cost to the customer.
From the info Ford has supplied dealers this morning:
A complete Dealer Bulletin will be provided to dealers in the 1st Quarter 2017, when it is anticipated that parts ordering information and repair instructions will be available to support this safety recall.
Not sure if this is what happened to the GT350 that lost oil and caught fire at a track day in the U.S. earlier this year, or if that car had a different issue.
