It was initially advertised with features that it didn’t actually offer.
Launch of the Mustang Mach 1 in Australia was not without its hiccups. These were due to Ford’s mistakes in the brochure. Rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, Torsen limited slip differential, and adaptive cruise control were all advertised as features that the AU-spec Mustang Mach 1 did not have.
Ford of Australia responded to complaints from early adopters by offering three-years of free servicing and a trackday. The Blue Oval was still criticised in Australia for its misleading promotional material. A new deal is being offered to the first 450 Mustang Mach 1 owners who purchased the car before the brochure was printed.
Customers can now receive a cashback of 5,400 AUD (or 4,040 USD at current currency rates). Ford will receive a cashback of 5,400 AUD (or 4.40 USD at current exchange rates). This is assuming that all 450 customers accept this offer. The company will also offer a refund for the first 450 customers who cancel their orders.
Ford claims that those who purchased the Mustang Mach 1 after errors were corrected in the brochure can still enjoy three-years of free servicing and track day. They are not eligible for the cashback offer. Only 50 of the 700 vehicles that were earmarked for Australia are still available locally.
Ford will contact all customers who ordered the sports car before April 29th, the date when the brochure was removed from the website. The Mustang Mach 1 US-spec has the Torsen limited slip diff, provided that the car is equipped the manual gearbox.
The model is also available in Europe, where, much like the Bullitt, it is suffering from a loss of power . It has lost 27 hp (30 lb-ft), and 40 Nm (30 lb) while traveling to the Old Continent.
