2015 FORD MUSTANG

  • Brand FORD

What happened

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2015 Ford Mustang vehicles with 2.3L engines manufactured between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015. These vehicles can experience fuel leaks due to prolonged exposure to elevated underbody temperatures that degrade the fuel tank and fuel vapor lines. If a fuel leak occurs near an ignition source, it could increase the risk of vehicle fire. Additionally, the same heat exposure can degrade seals in the parking brake cable, potentially reducing parking brake function and risking unexpected vehicle movement.

To remedy this issue, Ford dealers will replace the fuel tank shield, add thermal patches to the fuel tank and parking brake cable, and add thermal wraps to the fuel vapor lines at no cost to owners. The recall began on July 9, 2015. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 (Ford recall number 15S19) to have the repairs performed.
