The stickers didn't appear until will into the 1972 production, first as a campain then installed on the lines by late 1972.<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1977/09/02/archives/ford-chief-admits-mistake-in-failure-to-recall-autos-late-ford.html" target="_blank">https://www.nytimes.com/1977/09/02/archives/ford-chief-admits-mistake-in-failure-to-recall-autos-late-ford.html</a>MarkP.S. Though not part of production for a 1971 car (or before) IF YOU WENT TO A FORD DEALER when they have stickers , there was a good chance you would get one. For Example you purchase a car in June (any car) and in Sept you go to a dealer for service you may or may not have gotten a sticker on your car. SAY you purchased a left over 1972 in Aug................by then Dealers would have been sent a roll and told to PUT ON THE UNSOLD INVENTORY.</blockquote>
