Did you buy a new Ford Mustang earlier this year? If you did, then this news probably concerns you, as the Dearborn automaker has issued a new recall for the extremely popular pony car.
According to the information released by the company, certain Mustangs may have been equipped with a forward-looking camera that is misaligned to the vehicle. As a result, several safety features may not work as intended, increasing the risk of having an accident.

“An incorrect forward-looking camera alignment calibration may cause features to have degraded functionality during vehicle operation”, the Blue Oval states. “Those features include Pre-Collision Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane-Keeping System, Driver Alert and Auto High-Beam Control. The Pre-Collision Assist system’s effectiveness in detecting a frontal collision may be compromised, increasing the risk of an accident.”
Ford is unaware of any crashes and/or injuries that may have been caused by this issue, which affects a mere 24 units in the United States and only one in Canada. All of them were built at Flat Rock on February 10 and 11 and the fix will see technicians reconfiguring the forward-looking camera by aligning the Lane Departure Warning system camera, free of charge.
A second recall announced by the car maker concerns 1,616 units of the Transit in the U.S. and 131 in Canada. These were made at Valencia from July 17 to 31, 2016, and their seatbelt pretensioners may not deploy in a crash, increasing the risk of injury to a front occupant. Ford is unaware of injuries associated with this condition and said that its dealers will inspect the seatbelt assemblies and replace those produced within the aforementioned period. As usual, all work will be carried out at no cost to the owners.
