What owners wrote
Vehicle running rough. Pulled over after noticing white smoke coming from tailpipe. Water was gone from overflow. Radiator dry. Told was blown head gasket.
Never got a notice of recall for the faulty engine head gasket on a ford thunderbird 1993 model.. I have checked with the original owner and he never got a letter telling of the faulty head gasket and that the 3.8 v6 engine was being recalled to replace it, the car has 98 thousand original miles. And I bought the car used.. I would like to see if I can get the head gasket still replace under ford warranty. I have not driven the car since it started overheating
