Urgent recall of Ford Mustangs that could cause ‘injury or death’

A popular Ford car model has been hit with an urgent recall affecting 19,000 vehicles with a defect that could cause “serious injury or death”.

Ford urged Australia’s Mustang drivers to check the dates of their cars. The recall affects those manufactured from 2014 to 2017.

The defect is in the wiring harness of the rear boot lid, according to a Ford alert bulletin.

The wiring problem could cause intermittent operation of the rear-view camera, loss of satellite radio reception, inoperative luggage compartment lamp and/or inoperable luggage compartment release.

If the rear-view camera wasn’t working properly at all times, it could increase the risk of an accident and cause “serious injury or death to any persons located behind the vehicle”, the recall stated.

Ford said it would contact affected owners in writing requesting they make an appointment at their preferred Ford Authorised Dealership for inspection and repair of the luggage compartment lid wiring harness, free of charge.

For further information, contact any authorised Ford dealer or Ford’s customer relationship centre on 13FORD (133 673).
