  2. For uninstalled kits in your possession, Roush will supply you with replacement fuel rail subassemblies at no cost to you. You do not have to destroy the removed fuel rail subassemblies. Rather, you should return those fuel rail subassemblies to Roush at Roush’s cost.

The initial replacement fuel rail subassemblies are anticipated to start becoming available during the week of May 29, 2018 with all estimated replacement deliveries culminating during the week of June 25, 2018.
