I called ford about recall #77V043000 for my 68 mustang. The seat back pivot pin broke when I was driving. Ford national nor the local dealership will replace the pin cause the car is too old! Poor ford service for a loyal customer!

Do you drive a 1968 FORD MUSTANG?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
