Ford Is Recalling Certain 2019-2021 Ford Mustangs with Manual Transmissions

Ford is set to recall certain 2019 through 2021 model-year Mustangs equipped with manual transmissions. More specifically, the recall calls back to the shop units built between January 8, 2018 and December 16, 2020.

In 2019, Ford added standard engine rev matching on downshifts. Now, it seems that the transmission gear position sensor may not be always communicating properly with the powertrain control module (PCM). On occasion, the PCM can misread the gear position data that the sensor is sending and deem it a degraded signal.

The problem, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), is that when that happens, the PCM can broadcast an unintended fault signal to the modules controlling the rearview camera, the backup light and the driver assistance systems, which can disable all of these functions.

Such a situation, if it occurs, causes the vehicle to become non-compliant.
