That’s the issue. Lots of shops are doing HUGE amounts of r&d (such as stratified in Richmond) and other shops all around the world. The issue goes way depeer than just the head gasket. Most people like myself aren’t too worried. Well keep it stock and if t blows, it will be under warranty. No worse than Toyota and the V6 head gaskets, STI’s and ringland failure, evo X and fuel pump failures etc etc.

The biggest issue is that ford has been utterly silent for a year and a half to the owners. No credible mention of a cause, a guarantee of recall or extension of drivetrain warranty etc. I was so satisfied with my ST and ford experience. But so far they have handled this issue with their flagship hot hatch so poorly, it’s really shaken my faith. I’m definitely not the only one either
