I ordered an Atlas blue S550 Mustang GT, auto with Magneride on 17 January 2022. After waiting for this car for months, it ended up never being built because they stopped S550 production in preparation for the S650's.
The day after the reveal of the S650 which I watched live via Youtube, I went...
I havent, but I will go today in about an hour or so to have a look. Just gave myself some time to calm down about the whole recall thing. I didnt want to be harsh or rude to the dealer seeing it isn't really their fault. Today I feel that I can think about the situation a bit more clearly and...
Hopefully not long for you now. I assume you have your VIN already?
If so, plug it in here https://www.ford.com.au/owners/vehicle-support/recall-and-service-action-lookup/
You can see if your car is also affected by the recall or not. Hopefully you are spared that misery.
My story is a long one, but I'll try and keep it short.

I agree. MADinc mentioned they might throw that in for free. I'll see if it pans out. If they dont get the time to do it, I'll get myself some of Armour Detail Supply wheel ceramic coating and do it myself for sure.
Just wanted to add a bit more about why I went with this particular combo of protection for my Dark Horse.
I'm a bit old-school when it comes to car care. Usually, I'm happy to just give my cars a good wax with my favourite, Collinite 845. But with the Dark Horse, I figured it was time to...
@prestj1 , I created a new thread for the detailing and PPF discussion. Don't want to detail this one.

Just thought I'd start a dedicated thread for us Aussies to discuss paint protection and detailing options for our new S650 Mustangs.
With these cars finally arriving, I'm sure people are keen to hear what everyone's doing to protect their pride and joy.
Personally, I'm taking mine to MADinc...
Sorry this has happened to you as well @Brumby5.0 . At least we're not alone and in it together. Please keep us posted on any news and I'll do the same. I assume there will be heaps of customers in this boat now.
Yeah I cant see them holding ALL vehicles. If you punch your VIN into that tool and it doesn't show the recall, you should be good to get your car.
I've just spoken to my dealer again and he has confirmed the same now. They cant give me the car and the current ETA on the fix is early next...
Ok, I really dont have words at the moment. My car is at the dealer, but I cant have it. The dealer doesnt have any clear answers yet so I reached out to Ford Australia via Facebook. Their message:
Thanks for reaching out to us. We can confirm that there is a recall on the 2024 Mustangs relating...
Oh goodness, I hope that isn't so. If it's only a software update like it seems to be, I can't imagine why it would be that long.
I haven't heard anything more from my dealer. Only that it may delay the delivery and they'll let me know as soon as they have more information. I'll follow up next...
I just used a forwarding service - Stackry is what I used but there are a few others.
Its expensive, but I wanted them for the same reasons you chose them as well. Not wanting to cut or modify anything on my S650.
