Buying a used 2022 Ford Mustang? Check these 9 recalls first
Three critical recalls, two of them covering a steering wheel that may turn on its own, plus a roll-away-from-Park campaign listed under a Ford and Lincoln SUV recall. High-rated items repeat from 2021: knee airbag deployment, two low brake fluid warning light recalls, and a fuel pump that can stall the engine. NHTSA has just 49 owner complaints — unverified reports — with fuel system and gasoline at the top and steering close behind, mirroring the recall list.
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.
- Get repair documentation for both steering wheel recalls specifically
- Ask whether the car has ever moved or rolled after being shifted to Park
- Confirm the fuel pump recall is closed and test the brake fluid warning lamp
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
