Buying a used 2021 Ford Mustang? Check these 6 recalls first

6 NHTSA recalls · 55 owner complaints on file

No critical recalls, but five rated high and several are safety-system related: side curtain airbags that may inflate improperly, a passenger knee airbag deployment issue, two separate campaigns for a low brake fluid warning light, and a fuel pump failure that can stall the engine. A rearview camera item is also listed. NHTSA shows 55 owner complaints, unverified, with fuel system and gasoline tied at the top, matching the pump recall; four crashes and two injuries, no fires.

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 both airbag recalls were completed and no airbag warning light is on
3. Confirm the fuel pump recall remedy, and ask about any stalling episodes
4. Check that the low brake fluid warning light works
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.
