Hi Joe,Lawsuits for what, exactly? Let's assume for the sake of the argument that a catch can has a tangible benefit. If Ford suddenly start including them, that doesn't mean that Ford was in any way negligent with their prior design, it just means that the prior design was suboptimal.
Yep. Agree, The 5G Range does not mean the 4G was suboptimal either. It met the customer and engineering Requirements at that time. The mind set that if Ford makes a change it infers that the previous design was subpar.... Anyone updated their cell phone? Was the old one defective?
Best,
