What is wrong

On certain vehicles, there could be a problem with the connections inside the rearview camera. As a result, the rearview camera image may not display correctly or at all when the transmission is shifted into reverse. Note: For certain models, this recall also affects incomplete vehicles.

Why it matters

A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the rearview camera.

7 December 2020

Transport Canada lists: Mustang 2015–2020

What is wrong

On certain cars, the brake pedal and bracket assembly could fracture if rapid and forceful pressure is applied to the brake pedal, as typically seen during track and competition driving. If this happens, there could be a loss of braking. Note: This equipment recall only affects the following brake pedal and bracket assembly part numbers: FR3Z-2455-AA FR3Z-2455-AB

Why it matters

A loss of brakes can create the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Ford will notify its dealers of this recall. While dealers will attempt to contact people who may have purchased a part affected by this recall, if you have had the brake pedal and bracket assembly replaced on your car, you should contact the dealer that sold or installed it to find out if it is affected by this recall. Any part that is affected by this recall will be replaced, free of charge.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a software problem may cause the daytime running lamps (DRLs) to not turn on. Note: This recall only affects Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT500 models.

Why it matters

Daytime running lights that do not work could make the vehicle less visible to others and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the body control module (BCM) software.

Transport Canada lists: F 150 2017–2018 · Mustang 2018

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a roll pin attaching the park pawl rod guide cup to the transmission case may not have been installed. Over time, this could cause the transmission to lose the Park function even when the shifter and instrument panel display PARK. If the parking brake is not applied, this could result in unintended vehicle movement, which would increase the risk of crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect and install the missing roll pin as necessary.

19 December 2017

Transport Canada lists: Mustang 2018

What is wrong

Certain vehicles may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 102 – Transmission Control Functions and (CMVSS) 114 - Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention. When the ignition state is changed from the key-on to the key-off position and the transmission is not in PARK (P), the instrument cluster may not illuminate the PRNDL display and the operator may not receive the key-in-ignition warning chime when the driver’s door is opened. If the driver does not set the parking brake, this could cause unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update the instrument cluster software.
