Ford made and used silicone filled bumper shocks (for the 5 mph bumper standard).
An assembly plant screamed about contaminating their paint process. Turns out they had changed the assembly process and forgot about the silicone - they installed the shocks before paint and the ovens. Oopsie.
Easy fix - resequence the process. And clean the air handling systems.
