Roush Supercharger Kit Can Cause Mustang Fuel Leak

NHTSA campaign 18E035000 · Reported 2018-05-24 · Roush Performance Products, Inc.

critical How serious is it? About this label

This is serious because leaking gasoline can start a fire, and while the notice does not tell owners to stop driving or park outside, you should get it repaired right away and stop driving if you ever smell fuel.

What's wrong, in plain English

Roush sold an aftermarket supercharger kit for the 2018 Ford Mustang, and some of the small hose fittings in those kits were made incorrectly. A wrong fitting can damage the fuel lines that carry gasoline to the engine, and gasoline can then leak out. Leaking fuel raises the chance of a fire. Roush is replacing the faulty fuel rail parts on affected kits for free. This only affects Mustangs that had this particular Roush kit installed.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your Mustang is covered, and check whether your car has the Roush kit with part number R1318-6006P1-AA. 2. Call Roush customer service at 1-800-597-6874 and ask about recall REMay2018. 3. Have the fuel rail parts replaced — the repair is free.
