Ford is recalling certain 2021 Mustangs with a brake fluid warning light defect that could reduce braking performance and increase crash risk. Owners must contact Ford for a free software update.
Without a low brake fluid warning light, the vehicle may be driven with low brake fluid, reducing braking performance and increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford is recalling some 2021 Mustangs because the brake fluid warning light may not work when fluid is low. This could lead to reduced braking and a higher crash risk if the driver doesn't notice low brake fluid.
The brake fluid level sensor may not activate the visual warning light when brake fluid is low. This means drivers might not know their brake fluid is low, reducing braking performance and increasing crash risk.
Owners of 2021 Ford Mustangs repaired under recall number 23V727 are affected. Drivers with low brake fluid may face reduced braking performance and increased crash risk.
