Ford Recalls ONE 2024 Mustang

•    Ford is recalling a single unit of the 2024 Mustang

Ford is leading the industry again this year for recalls, having issued over 100 of them since the calendar turned to 2025. Barring catastrophic malfunctions at another automaker, the Blue Oval carmaker will once again finish the year on top.

More specifically, a potential loss of functionality of the side marker lights and daytime running lights.

It seems this particular Mustang did not receive the correct software update, even though the dealership where the vehicle was taken registered it as repaired. And it means the instrument cluster might not light up on startup or might not display necessary driving information while on the road, which contravenes regulations.
