high How serious is it? About this label

This can cause both a loss of drive power and a fire, so have the car inspected as soon as you can.

What's wrong, in plain English

On certain 2024 Mustangs, the clutch pressure line may not be held in place properly and can touch hot exhaust parts. The heat can melt the line, which leads to a brake fluid leak. If that happens, the car can lose drive power while you are driving, and leaking brake fluid can catch fire if it meets a source of ignition. Ford dealers will inspect the clutch pressure line and repair it if needed, at no charge.

1. Look up your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your Mustang is affected. 2. Call your Ford dealer for an inspection appointment, or Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 (recall number 24S36). 3. The inspection and any repair are free of charge.
