The problem was introduced in '96 and the recall is being done now? So that means our intercooler recall is on track for 2003.

Doug, that's an old recall. All that is new about it is that Ford is saying that they will extend the coverage of the recall past the original base warrenty period to seven years. All those vehicles have already been "checked" by the dealers on the original recall, just now Ford has extended it so that if there are problems later on, it will still be covered.

Some of the composite intake manifolds used on 4.6L SOHC engines may develop fatigue cracks at the coolant crossover duct. This condition could result in engine coolant leakage which, if not serviced, may cause engine overheating. Complete loss of coolant may result in engine damage or engine failure.
