Are these brackets on previous years of Mustangs? There is not any 2010 Mustangs banged up around the junk yards/used auto parts places yet.
Waiting for email back from Ford to see what they are doing about it. The service manager stated it would be fixed, then said would order the part, then when they went to order it, trying to find part number and that is where I stand.
For the original guy, he is still fighting. I am going to just fabricate something like it if I dont get a resolution soon.

Dont let them tell you any different.
I have been under too many 05-09s
and a few 2010s to not know that theye are
one and the same fricken bracket. Period.
I went to the stealership with my 07 and
got under an 2010 and did a comparison.
Same fricken stamping to be exact.
And it is not on the fuel tank assembly.
More lies.

OFFICIAL RESPONSE FROM FORD.
"Thank you for your patience while I further investigated your inquiry. The dealer is correct, the early (built prior to December 2009) had an additional bracket that extended from the carbon canister (fuel vapor storage canister) that was used as a locator for the fuel vapor lines.
The design of the fuel vapor canister housing was changed and the bracket was deleted. The retainer clip that holds the 2 vapor lines together remained the same, so the "Christmas Tree" attachment remained.
I have been informed that your vehicle is built correctly and should not have the bracket. The bracket was unnecessary with the new canister design. In fact, the service canister assembly was superseded to the new design without the bracket.
I hope this information clarifies the issue.
Sincerely,

48 hours is Bull! I'd be looking for another dealer. My dealer will go out of their way to make sure that I am satisfied. The worked on my car for nearly 6 hours trying to locate a rattle in the passenger door before finding the culprit (looked like a very large bullet stuck in between the panels). Since I was waiting for so long, they got me a rental to use until they fixed the problem. Excellent service!
