Buying a used 2024 Ford Mustang? Check these 12 recalls first
The 2024 Mustang's recall list is unusually heavy: one brake-pedal recall carries a stop-driving warning, and separate recalls cover a fuel line and fuel injectors that can leak gasoline and catch fire. Others touch the clutch line, rear suspension knuckle, engine wiring, and instrument displays going dark. That mix matches the 76 unverified NHTSA owner complaints, where electrical system leads at 34, followed by engine and exterior lighting, with 5 crashes and 4 injuries reported.
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 the dealer repair order proving the stop-driving brake pedal recall was completed.
- Confirm both fuel recalls (fuel line and injectors) were done; check for fuel odor in the engine bay.
- On a long test drive, watch the gauge cluster, displays, lights and rearview camera for blackouts.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
