What this recall means for you
A software setting in the body control module on certain 2024 Mustangs may not be configured correctly after a service update. As a result, the brake fluid low warning light can stay on all the time, which can hide a real drop in brake fluid.
If brake fluid runs low without you noticing, braking can be lost, which raises the risk of a crash. Owners should not ignore a brake warning light and should have the brake fluid level checked.
Authorized Ford dealers will update the body control module software at no charge. You can check whether your VIN has open recalls and contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332, referencing recall 24S43.
