Don't hold your breath on this one..... All they need to do is come up with a one piece plug design like the Brisk Plug, & give it a Platnum tip, & install them on all effected motors...........see what they come uo with........

I've had my plugs changed during cam phaser warranty work at 34 K but still worry the second change on my Nickle at 100 K or more. While Ford is at it maybe they can find the answer to the ball bearing on the floor.

I bet there is an eventual recall later in time. As for now, take care of your plugs so they don't break.
