Possibly... I have a 2000 V10 and hadn't had any problems. There has been a lot of posts out here on that subject. As I recall, a few people said pat of the problem has to do with having the right plugs, Making sure you use the right thread sealer/compound (or maybe thread lube), and getting them tightened to the right torque. I've only read of a few people out here that have had that problem. Seems that Ford doesn't want to acknowledge the problem.

my 2000 had the shorter threads. the new plugs i installed had more threads on the plugs than the originals.
i wouldnt go worrying too much about blowing a plug out through your hood...
if you are worried about it, just on every other few oil changes just go in and check to see all the plugs are tight. it may seem like alot of work, but it only takes about 45 minutes or so to do them all.
