Recall 24V496000 · manufacturer campaign 24S43

Service Brakes, Hydraulic › Brake Fluid Low Warning › Switch/sensor/float — Ford · reported 28 Jun 2024 · 10 vehicles potentially affected

What's wrong

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2024 Mustang vehicles. The brake fluid level sensor may not be properly configured after a Body Control Module (BCM) service update, resulting in a constantly illuminated brake fluid level warning light that can conceal a low brake fluid condition.

The risk

An undetected low brake fluid condition can lead to a loss of braking function, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will update the body control module (BCM) software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 12, 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24S43.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
