Buying a used 2020 Ford Mustang? Check these 8 recalls first

8 NHTSA recalls · 119 owner complaints on file

The 2020 Ford Mustang has 8 recalls in this group. Brake pedal bracket fracture and failure of the brake fluid warning light deserve particular attention, alongside camera alignment, driver assistance interruptions, rearview image problems, and a short Park warning chime. Its 119 owner complaints are unverified reports; engine and electrical system concerns each appear in 25, followed by power train concerns in 24. Camera operation is a recurring recall theme, while the brake hardware issue warrants a specific repair record.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Verify brake pedal bracket recall completion.
3. Confirm brake fluid warning light recall completion.
4. Check rearview images and camera alignment repair records.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
