Like I said, this came from Edmonds.com verbatim. And AAA linked it to my car. I am asking my dealer right now to figure out if it applies to my car. I know that it says aftermarket, but I got the impression that it might be up to the discretion of the plant on which struts that they use. I admit that it is confusing, but why would AAA link it to my car specifically?

No.
This is a 100% EIBACH problem. Nothing at all to do with Ford or the factory warranty.

I'm wondering if these are FRPP struts? Why else would Ford get involved with a recall for aftermarket parts unless they were sold through Ford or its dealers

Allow me to put an end to this bickering.
This Recall is a voluntary ROUSH recall affecting some Stage 2 cars and ALL Stage 3 cars.

LBJay; I don't kow if your post was refering to mine but the FRPP suspension parts that I've installed already do have an aftermarket manufacturer's name stamped on them, for instance the billet sway bar clamps. I think it's Eibach, unfortunatley I can't check because I'm 2000 miles from my car right now. So I'm asking again, does anyone know if the FRPP suspension kit struts are manufactured by Eibach and if so would this recal apply to them? Thanks!
