Sorry to hear of the problems you are experiencing. Let’s clarify a few things for you, since this is a stressful time.
1) If the engine is replaced under warranty by Ford AND the vehicle Owner is not going through any Ford RAV Buy Back, NO it does not affect the title to the vehicle at all - ever.
2) If the engine in any Mustang S550 is replaced under warranty, it’s no longer a “numbers matched” engine as it does not and will never have the VIN as the original did. For Shelby owners, yes this can be detrimental for future resale value regarding the car being numbers matched. I’m not going to get into all that here, because there’s way too many threads about this subject matter.
3) If any Warranty work or repair work is completed at any Ford Dealership, that work history can be pulled up in Ford OASIS or ETIS.
4) A vehicle can only be branded a Lemon IF the vehicle Owner went through a Buy Back. Once the vehicle owner has been approved for a Ford RAV Buy Back, has signed all paperwork and they return the car to Ford - the car is deemed a Lemon. It’s not so much a title being branded as a Lemon, the VIN will forever be branded as a “Lemon Buy Back”, which will show up on any future VIN reports, within Ford OASIS/ETIS, in any DMV database within any State and via any extract the Automotive Insurance Industry uses.

If you have not, you NEED to call the Ford 800# and get a Regional CSR to open a Case with your vehicle. This bumps your vehicle to a priority and the CSR and Dealership Service Center must try to resolve the issue ASAP and work to make you whole.
