Recall campaigns 6 of 8

25V6950002025-10-13

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

A rearview camera that fails to properly display an image can reduce the driver’s view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

25V4420002025-06-27

BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE

A rearview camera that displays a blank image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle. A rearview image that continues to be displayed after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse may distract the driver. Both of these situations can increase the risk of a crash.

23V7270002023-10-27

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:BODY CONTROL MODULE/BCM

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.

22V3820002022-05-27

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)

A rearview camera or reverse light that is disabled reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash. Disabled driver assist features (traction control, forward collision warning, blind spot warning, cross traffic indicator) may increase the risk of a crash.

20V5750002020-09-23

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

Reduced rearward visibility can increase the risk of a crash.

20V5730002020-09-23

A broken brake pedal could affect braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.

This page is about a model, not a car

Two 2020 FORD MUSTANGs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
