Are they black and silver? If so they are recall stickers indicating that the car has had some recall work done on it at some stage.

Thanks for that yes they are. Do you know if there is any way of finding out what they did? I live in NZ so don't know if there is any way over here
Cheers |

Try posting the numbers on them up here, someone may know. The only recall I can think of for AU's was the one for the steering rack.

Just did a quick search on here and found some numbers but none of them are even close to what I've got they also say program number and nothing about a field campaign or recall. One is 200221A and the other is 200604A. Any idea's

Cheers for that had a look through but none seem to apply to my car which was built in september 2001. I was told when I bought this car that it was owned by ford nz and that they had done work to the heads and exhaust and altered the computer to suit so maybe what I was told was true and these numbers are related to that.I do know they owned for the first year. Not sure what to think but am keen on finding out

hmm cant see Ford modifying a new AU XR8 with fancy heads & magical power tunes for the fun of it
as mentioned the only sticker that should be there is the steering rack bolt update thingy |

Another thought is that it might be what they used to call a 'program' falcon - they used to run one around for a while then put it back through the assembly line to evaluate and effectively 'rebuild' it. From what i remember they were almost always red or white and the last one that I ever saw was a BA, dont know if they do it any more.

Cheers for ideas guys and I agree I don't think ford would have done anything to it as new, more than likely it will have some thing to do with the recalls. Doesn't really matter I like the car anyway it's a manual xr8 with factory premium brakes and factory tinted windows, someone at some stage has spent a bit of money on it as the engine cover is painted the same blue as the car and it has mesh in the front spoiler and all badges have been removed, just another question though the info on the car says it's a xr8 5m anyone know what the 5m stands for?

I saw a field campaign sticker on a 99 AU dated 2004. A recall for something?
