Warranties - Ford 2013 User Manual

Quality/Reliability/Durability
Mustang is sold in a multitude of countries. That's
one reason it's tested at the extremes of climate and
endurance — from corrosion testing with Arizona salt
spray booths to snow ingestion testing in Minnesota.
Additional testing includes:
• Water spray jets that seek out water leaks and water
ingestion testing that measures the engine's ability to
resist stalling in extreme situations
• Selected vehicles coming off the assembly line go
through a comprehensive 30-mile test-drive, including
a water test and a review of sheet metal, paint, interior
trim and functional items
