Ford recalls 2014-2017 Mustangs due to defect

20/07/2023

Ford has issued a recall for 18,840 2014-2017 Mustangs due to a defect that could cause ‘serious injury or death’.

A manufacturing defect in the wiring harness of the rear boot lid may cause intermittent operation of the rear-view camera, loss of satellite radio reception, inoperative luggage compartment lamp and/or inoperable luggage compartment release.

If the rear-view camera display does not continually display the rear-view image whilst reversing the vehicle, it could increase the risk of an accident, causing serious injury or death to any persons located behind the vehicle.

Ford will contact affected owners in writing requesting they make an appointment at their preferred Ford Authorised Dealership for inspection and repair of the luggage compartment lid wiring harness, free of charge.

For further information, contact any Authorised Ford Dealer or Ford’s Customer Relationship Centre on 13FORD (133 673).
