Buying a used 2025 Ford Mustang? Check these 6 recalls first

6 NHTSA recalls · 20 owner complaints on file

The 2025 Ford Mustang has 6 recalls in this group, addressing a transmission defect, headlight failure, EGR valve failure, wiring-related power loss, exterior lighting failure, and cold-weather wiper failure. Lighting and power loss are prominent subjects in the recall record. Its 20 owner complaints are unverified reports, with electrical system and exterior lighting concerns each recording 5, unknown or other 4, and power train 3. Recall completion records and the seller's history of lighting interruptions or power loss are useful review points.

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 transmission and EGR valve recall completion.
  3. Ask about power loss and obtain wiring recall repair records.
  4. Check all exterior lights and confirm cold-weather wiper recall status.
  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.
