2020 Ford Mustang Brake Recall Announced

A 2020 Ford Mustang brake pedal bracket recall for 38,000 cars has been announced a few days ago. The brake pedal brackets can break during sudden stops, yet the problem only manifests in mustangs equipped with automatic transmissions,

A busted bracket will cause a sudden loss of primary braking ability, although Ford says it's unaware of any crashes or injuries related to the brake pedal brackets.

As for the cause of the problem, the automaker says the "root cause of this condition is insufficient design margins for noise factors within brake pedal engineering specification and design verification procedure."

The 2020 Ford Mustang recall is expected to begin November 16, 2020. Ford dealers will replace the brake pedal bracket assemblies, but concerned owners may call 866-436-7332 and refer to recall number 20S52.
