Summary
2016 focus rs models are shipped with front coil spring spacers that keep the suspension from bottoming out and to provide ramp clearance during shipping. The vehicle is shipped with a sticker on the windshield and section 2 in the pdi service record directs the technician to remove the blocks prior to customer delivery. Failure to remove the spacers will result in a rougher than normal ride and will make noise while driving. Please share this ssm with your sales and pdi departments.
