I own a 1998 ford mustang gtast year I noticed a cooling leakage which I first thought coming from one of the hoses. It turned out that the upper intake manifold cracked.hen I purchased a new upper intake manifold from a ford dealership, I noticed that they changed the design, enforcing the cracked part of the intake with aluminum. I was wondering if there is a design flaw, and they changed their design; am I entitled for any kind of compensation? I have asked many ford dealerships, but they informed me that there is no recall in regard to my intake manifold.ny information in regard to this is very much appreciated.

Plastic intake manifold cracked, leaking radiator fluid. Ford will fix the exact same problem on the 97 mustang, but not the 98.
