Buying a used 2018 Ford Mustang? Check these 4 recalls first
The 2018 Ford Mustang has 4 recalls in this group, covering a Roush supercharger fuel leak risk, missing gear position information, rollaway while in Park, and distorted rearview camera images. Applicability of the Roush supercharger campaign needs specific confirmation. NHTSA lists 191 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, including 56 in engine, 45 in power train, and 30 in electrical system. Engine and transmission repair records complement verification of the parking, display, and camera recall remedies.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Confirm Roush supercharger fuel leak recall applicability and completion.
- Verify Park rollaway and gear position display recall repairs.
- Test camera image quality and request engine and transmission records.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
