Ford Motor Company is recalling certain examples of the 2024 Ford Mustang outfitted with the manual transmission due to an issue with the vehicle’s clutch pressure line.
The defect: in affected vehicles, the clutch pressure line may not be properly secured to the vehicle’s firewall stud. The line may contact hot exhaust components and melt, causing a brake fluid leak.
The hazards: a brake fluid leak from the clutch system can result in an inability to change gears, and may cause the vehicle to stall on throttle tip-out at certain speeds, thereby increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, if brake fluid accumulates near a sufficiently hot surface, an under-hood fire may occur, increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
Ford is aware of two reports of under-hood fire allegations in the 2024 Ford Mustang. However, Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.
Components: clutch pressure line.
Affected vehicles: select 2024 Ford Mustang models with the manual transmission produced at the Flat Rock Assembly plant between September 27th, 2022 and May 23rd, 2024.
Number of affected vehicles: 8,161
The fix: dealers will inspect the clutch pressure line and repair if necessary, free of charge to 2024 Ford Mustang owners.
Owners should: wait for communications from Ford, which will begin on June 17th, 2024. The Ford reference number for this recall is 24S36.
