Ford Motor Company has put 187,922 of its Mustang cars from model years 2020-2023 under recall. The affected models do not meet the required light vehicle brake systems of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) enforced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The NHTSA announced the recall on October 27, 2023. It was a response to an indicator issue with the brake fluid level sensor that could result in them being out of compliance with a specific FMVSS requirement.
When the brake fluid is low, the brake fluid level sensor in the affected Mustangs may not activate the visual warning indicator. The potential problem with the brake fluid level sensor on the models under recall was first flagged by one of Ford’s customer service divisions in South Korea.
Owners of the affected Mustangs will be informed by mail starting December 4, 2023. They may bring them to either a Ford or Lincoln dealer for free software reconfiguration.
Dealers are already aware of the recall. They will perform a software update on customer’s affected models.
Henry Ford founded Ford in Detroit, Michigan, United States on June 16, 1903. His great-grandson William Clay Ford Jr. is currently the executive chairman of the company, which is now headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan.
On August 17, 2023, Ford introduced its latest gasoline-powered Mustang, an 800-horsepower supercar built with a carbon-fiber body. A supercharged, 5.2-liter V8 engine generates the horsepower.
