Ford Motor Company: 2024 Mustang Recalled for Brake Fluid Warning Light Issue

Agency Publication Date: June 28, 2024

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling 10 of its 2024 Mustang vehicles because the brake fluid level sensor may fail to work correctly after a recent software update. This defect can cause the brake fluid warning light to stay on constantly, which may hide a real low-fluid condition from the driver. Dealers will provide a free software update to the Body Control Module (BCM) to fix the issue. Owner notification letters were sent out in July 2024.

Risk

If the warning light is always on, a driver will not be alerted if the brake fluid actually drops to a dangerous level. This undetected low brake fluid can lead to a sudden loss of braking power, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your vehicle is affected by checking if it is a 2024 Ford Mustang and if it has recently received a Body Control Module (BCM) service update.
  2. Contact an authorized Ford dealer to schedule a free service appointment to have your vehicle's Body Control Module software updated.
  3. If you have questions, contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and reference recall number 24S43.
  4. You may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
