Affected vehicles include model-year 2020-23 Mustangs. The configuration between the brake fluid sensor and body control module is incorrect, preventing the brake fluid sensor from working properly. As a result, the low brake fluid warning light may not illuminate when the fluid level is low, which may increase the risk of reduced braking performance and a crash.
To fix the issue, dealers will update the body control module software for free. Ford will send owners an interim letter Dec. 4 notifying them of the issue; a second letter will be sent when a remedy is available. Those with further questions in the meantime can call Ford at 866-436-7332 (Ford’s number for this recall is 23C35), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
