Gaskets Ford Mercury

I have a 98 Mercury Sable. The antifreeze keeps turning brown and the heat in my car is barely warm?

I've had my antifreeze flushed a couple of times but it keeps turning brown. The last place that flushed my antifreeze said it could be the head gasket. Someone who used to work for Ford told me there was a hidden recall on these cars for the heater tube assembly and that was the problem but when I called Ford they said they have had no recall . I've noticed other people on here have had the same problem with their car and wondered what the problem is and how to fix it.

It was not a recall, but was a Technical Service Bulletin. #01-11-6 to be exact. The engine block had casting material left inside of it at assembly. This causes rust to form in the cooling system, making the coolant beige or brown in color. This rust will block the heater core, radiator, and completely destroy the Water Pump Impeller. In order to fully remove the rust, the entire cooling system must be flushed by removing hoses and a freeze plug to flush out the engine block and heater core, radiator, etc with water. All of this is covered in the TSB I listed above, and your dealer will have that information. By just replacing the coolant and not removing a freeze plug to flush out the block, the rust stays in the engine to contaminate every new batch of coolant that is installed.
