OMG - I cannot believe that in the modern age of manufacturing that the wrong head gaskets were used unless the TechOps department and R&D and Engineering all got the BOM wrong. I work in Product Development and the BOM reviews are very drawn out and detailed to ensure there are NO (Z E R O) mistakes.

I like the scenario Bozi put forward where both head gaskets (being nearly identical) were made by the same company and they sent Ford Mustang gaskets in Focus RS boxes. The differences really are very small so an assembly attendant would probably not even notice.

Ah, good old Fix Or Repair Daily.
Using the Ecoboost 'stang head gasket for the Focus RS... Classic.
