Unless things have changed since the recall was first issued, the SVT was excluded. I remember it well. We never did see many broken Contour springs in southern California though.

There were two recalls. The first was to install guards so that if a spring did break, it would not puncture a tire. The guards didn't fit very well and a lot of people took them off because they were noisy. The second part would replace the springs only if they did break. The SVT was not included in either of these.

Eoither the dealer was able to negotiate a deal with Ford for your SVT or the dealer will not be paid by Ford for the claim.
