STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Ford Mustang vehicles. The secondary steering torque sensor may not be calibrated properly, which can cause the steering wheel to turn side to side against the driver's intentions.
- What it can cause
- A steering wheel that turns unintentionally can cause a loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the power steering control module (PSCM) software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on October 11, 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24S44.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 30,735 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 86% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the steering 37 times before this, most recently in May 2024 as 24V329000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 64 complaints with NHTSA, 20 of them before this campaign was filed. 12 of those name the steering, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in September 2022, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 8 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V689000 (electrical system), 25V455000 (fuel system, gasoline), 25V442000 (back over prevention), 25V096000 (steering).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on June 28, 2024 as campaign 24V493000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
