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

6 NHTSA recalls · 55 owner complaints on file

The 2021 Ford Mustang has 6 recalls in this group, covering side airbag inflation, a passenger knee airbag weld issue, brake fluid warning lights, fuel pump failure that can stall the engine, and blank rearview images. Airbag and fuel pump repair documentation stands out among the items to review. Its 55 owner complaints are unverified reports, with fuel system and gasoline categories recording 10 each, power train 9, and engine 8. Those category counts should not be added as separate incidents.

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 side and passenger knee airbag recall repairs.
3. Confirm fuel pump recall status and ask about stalling.
4. Review brake warning light and rearview camera recall completion.
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.
