TSB – Technical Service Bulletins If you are having reoccurring problems with your Mustang, you may want to check if there is a technical service bulletin released for the problem. A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) is an advisory issued by a manufacturer for use by the dealership's service department and may include illustrated instructions for repair, a list of the parts needed, the warranty status and the labor charges. "Most TSBs are released during the first year that a vehicle is offered or the year following a redesign," Edmunds road test editor, Neil Chirico observed "in order to address areas that might have been overlooked when designing the car." A TSB is different from a recall in that they are not considered safety or emissions issues and are usually applied only when your vehicle is within the warranty period. A recall is typically available to the owner until the work has been performed on the vehicle. The content of a TSB can vary, from hard-to-start engines and clunking transmissions to those that offer corrections for faulty seat belt buckles and minor paint imperfections. Some TSBs simply update existing service procedures and troubleshooting strategies, or offer suggestions for installing simple accessories. One of the best things about finding a TSB that covers a persistent problem with your Mustang is that dealerships will make the repair for free, provided that • Your Mustang is under warranty • Your service advisor and/or technicians are able to confirm that the problem exists. One suggestion is that rather than going into your Ford dealership with the TSB number in hand, it may be more effective to go to the dealer with an account of your vehicle's particular problem, the exact symptoms, and when and where they occurred. Most websites only contain a summary of the TSB available for you vehicle. You can visit NHTA’s Office of Defects Investigation http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/probl ... search.cfm to get a list of your Mustang's specific TSB summaries. If you wish to get the full content, you can submit a request, but it will cost a fee. A more attractive offer may be to go the AllData http://www.alldata.com/ site. For $24.95, you get a one year subscription to the AllDataDIY database which has the full content of the TSBs, including diagnosis and repair procedures. http://www.s197forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61 06 Technical Service Bulletins http://2005stang.com/viewtopic.php?t=...opic.php?t=2325 Updated TSB List from Ford on the 05/06 Mustangs... 10-31-07 http://2005stang.com/viewtopic.php?t=...opic.php?t=1087 http://www.stangnet.com/Tech-Articles/S ... 60923.html 07-18-2 Front End Noise over Bumps 07-18-1 Front Suspension Popping turning right/left 07-5-13 DISCHARGED BATTERIES -

ISSUE: Some vehicles may exhibit a bubbling or blistering under the paint on aluminum body parts. This is due to iron contamination of the aluminum panel. ACTION: This TSB provides service tips and procedures, outlining methods to properly prepare and protect aluminum body parts from cross contamination. BACKGROUND Ford's Scientific Research Laboratory has performed a number of tests on vehicle body parts returned for corrosion related concerns. Testing has revealed that the aluminum corrosion was caused by iron particles working their way into the aluminum body part, prior to it being painted. SERVICE TIPS AND PROCEDURE When repairing a vehicle for corrosion or collision damage, it is essential that extreme care be taken to cover and protect all aluminum parts to prevent cross metal contamination. Areas in a shop where metal work is performed should be sectioned off, using at the very least curtain walls, to prevent metal dust migration. Cross contamination can also occur through the use of metal working tools (hammers, dolly's, picks, grinding wheels, etc.). Tools used for aluminum repairs should be kept separate, and not used to repair other metals. Wire brushes used on aluminum should be made of stainless steel. NOTE: THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD ONLY BE USED ON NON-PERFORATED METAL. REVIEW WARRANTY AND POLICY MANUAL FOR VEHICLE WITH PERFORATED METAL. NOTE: READ THIS PROCEDURE COMPLETELY BEFORE PERFORMING ANY SERVICE. 1. Corrosion should be removed by blasting. Use an aggressive blasting material, such as acrylic (salt grain size). 2. Use a DA sander with 180 grit paper backed abrasive. Only sand and featheredge the damaged area. 3. Mix and apply Ford approved epoxy primer, per the manufacturer's label instructions. Bake at 140° F (60° C), or use an infra-red lamp for curing. 4. If necessary, mix and apply two-part polyester filler to a slight over crown. Allow polyester filler to cure 20-30 minutes, or mix and apply spray polyester filler two-three (2-3) coats as necessary. Allow to cure per manufacturer's label instructions. 5. Hand-sand the repair area with 80 grit sand paper to remove excess filler. 6. Finish-sand the repair area with 400 grit sand paper. 7. Mix and apply Ford approved primer/surfacer per manufacturer's label instructions. Bake at 140° F (60° C) or use infra-red lamp for curing. 8. Sand the primer/surfacer with 400-600 grit to level the surface. 9. The next two steps are wet-on-wet. Mix and apply to hiding Ford recommended basecoat material per manufacturer's label instructions. Allow to flash. 10. Mix and apply two (2) coats (2 mils minimum) of Ford approved clearcoat per manufacturer's label instructions. Allow flash time. Finish bake at 140° F (60° C). WARRANTY STATUS: Information Only NOTE: The information in Technical Service Bulletins is intended for use by trained, professional technicians with the knowledge, tools, and equipment to do the job properly and safely. It informs these technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or provides information that could assist in proper vehicle service. The procedures should not be performed by "do-it-yourselfers". Do not assume that a condition described affects your car or truck. Contact a Ford, Lincoln, or Mercury dealership to determine whether the Bulletin applies to your vehicle. Warranty Policy and Extended Service Plan documentation determine Warranty and/or Extended Service Plan coverage unless stated otherwise in the TSB article.
