NHTSA Recall History

1994 Mustang GT w/power lumbar adjustment: Electrical short can result in overheating, melting, smoke, and ignition of surrounding materials.
1994-96 Mustang: Tearing of bond between inner and outer hood panels during minor front-end collision can result in gap at leading edge of hood; could result in separation of outer panel.
1994-97 Mustang: Replacement driver-side airbag modules might not properly deploy in a crash.
1995 Mustang: On some cars, passenger-airbag's inflator body is cracked and may not inflate properly; also, igniter end cap can separate, causing hot gases to be released.
1995 Mustang: Some outer tie-rod ends can fracture within 50,000 miles; may result in shake or shimmy and cause wheel to tuck inward or outward.
1995 Mustang w/3.8-liter or 5.0-liter engines: The engine-cooling-fan bearing can seize. Excessive heat may be generated, melting the fan-motor electrical connector, and possibly causing fan-motor components to ignite.
1996-01 Mustang w/manual transmission: Vehicle could move unintentionally while in "Park." Dealers will modify parking-brake control.
1998 Mustang: Some rack-and-pinion steering gears may have damaged shaft bearings.
1998 Mustang w/V8 engine: Some cars have missing or inadequately brazed joints between fuel-rail body and mounting brackets; separation can result in leakage.
1998-99 Mustang: Speed-control cable on certain vehicles can interfere with servo pulley, preventing throttle from returning to idle when disengaging the speed control.
1999-00 Mustang: Seatbelt retractor may have incorrectly formed pin shaft that could, in some circumstances, prevent seatbelt webbing from being extracted.
1999-00 Mustang Cobra R: Ball-joint assembly could cause knuckle casting to fail. If this occurs, the lower control arm could contact the inside of the rear wheel. In some cases, steering of the vehicle could be reduced.
2000 Mustang GT (w/4.6-liter engine): A coolant-flow blockage exists at the intake manifold heater-core nipple, resulting in no coolant flow to the heater and, therefore, no warm airflow from the heater or windshield defroster.
2003-04 Mustang: The rear surface of the accelerator pedal may come into contact with floor carpeting and catch, interfering with the pedal's ability to return to an idle position. Unexpected, continued throttle application and/or increased stopping distances may occur. Dealers will install a shield over the cutout in the carpet behind the accelerator pedal.
