i talked to the manager of the service department and he told me to contact ford of canada. so i did that. when i spoke with FOC they said that since there is NO damage to the rims and tires there is a "SLIGHT" chance that it might be under warranty, they said they (dealer) never heard of this happening in their lifetime, so it's "MOST LIKELY" my fault. but the dealer will contact ford in dearborn, MI and talk to some people there. i know that the 03's - 04's have that extra plate welded for reinforcement, and mine doesn't (02)... does that mean that they should cover it because SVT/Ford knew that there is a chance the part could fail, so that is why they updated the new part?
