Noticed this service message while scanning through the new ones this morning, maybe some of the Shelby owners on here are seeing it with their cars:

Some 2015-2018 Mustang GT350 vehicles built on or before 26-Feb-2018 may exhibit an excessive panel gap where the rear bumper cover meets the rear quarter panels on either side of the vehicle. This may be due to the method used to fasten the rear bumper cover to the vehicle.

There is a procedure listed to install new part number JR3Z-17N775-A to correct the issue. Stock is available in the Livonia Michigan warehouse at this point, usually 3-4 days to get parts out of there for southern Ontario dealers. This will be a no-charge repair for vehicles that are still under the base warranty period.
