Never heard of that before, I've never heard anything about a recall either.

I have a strong recollection of it probably because I am sure there were pics in the Daily News of a burnt GT coupe (I think on the Narrows Bridge) and I had friends and work colleagues at the time with two door GT's who had children that they often carried in the rear and they were talking about their concerns; one sold his car as result this and consequent pressure from his missus. Haven't been able to find the article but I don't think that Trove's Daily News collection is complete and I also may not be using the right search string.
Anyhow; I guess the message is: if you have coupe of that era with dual pipes make sure the heat shields are in place and carry a good fire extinguisher.
