SUSPENSION:REAR
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2024 Mustang vehicles. The rear suspension knuckles may have a casting defect that causes them to fail, which can result in a loss of vehicle handling and steering control.
- What it can cause
- A loss of vehicle handling and steering control increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the rear suspension knuckle as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 26, 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24S49.
- 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 4,595 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 73% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the suspension 39 times before this, most recently in February 2024 as 24V091000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 73 complaints with NHTSA, 9 of them before this campaign was filed. 2 of those name the suspension, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 11 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V547000 (electrical system), 26V418000 (visibility), 25V546000 (exterior lighting), 25V516000 (electrical system).
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 August 9, 2024 as campaign 24V593000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
