Dark Horse on fire and burns down (from stuck clutch)

And they were probably forced to sign a non disclosure agreement, so we may never here the truth

I don't think that was the case. As for the OP, if this was something that was a mfg issue, it wouldn't hurt to get the regional rep involved to see what ford will do for him. When they figure out what happened to the vehicle, ford may very well step up.

It doesn't hurt to try... that was the point of my example.

It is confounding how some get paid as much as they do for the little sense they have. But yes completely comprehend. Preach. , oopps.

I received this recall notice on my Ford Pass app and instantly thought of this thread.

2024 Mustang Inspect manual transmission lineRecall Incomplete

On your vehicle, the hydraulic clutch pressure line may not be properly retained to a locating stud on the dash panel. A line with improper retention may contact hot exhaust components and melt, leaking hydraulic fluid.
Safety Risk
A leaking clutch pressure line will not impact the volume of brake fluid in the brake system, so you will not observe an impact to brake function. However, this condition can impact the brake fluid supply in the clutch and can result in an inability to change gears. If leaked hydraulic fluid accumulates near a sufficiently hot surface, you may observe smoke and experience an under-hood fire. An under-hood fire increases the risk of injury.

On the GT350 … early models 2015 and I believe part of 2016 the oil filter was spin on… if not tightened to spec they would vibrate loose and oil coming out on hot exhaust… fire

before you all make fun of 350s again.. the C8 z06 prototypes had the same issue so like Ford they went to a cartridge style filter…

got to love that flat plane life…

that being said… I saw the owner of this car on the 350 Facebook page asking about 350s … said he wanted to go that direction next… no idea if he ever bought one or if Ford “burned” him for life..

I just got back from the dealership and my DH M6 is apparently OK.

Meh, a little duct tape and it's good as new.
