I am sure Ford could afford 5k to fix a minor problem like that. Owners should be delighted that they are getting a forged ones now instead of cast ones. Of course anyone could have told them that forged is better than cast. Look at the forged tools versus cast tools. Woud you buy a Snap-On/Craftsman or cast tools from discount stores?

Think they can pull one off after a major SNAFU like this?

You think this will be the last GT recall? It would be an exception to Ford's usual history

Yup, the next model year. Someone has to pay for it and it usually is the customer in the long run.
