    Electrical System / Body Control Module/Bcm

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2023 Mustang vehicles repaired incorrectly under recall number 23V727.

    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    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.
